We cordially invite you to the International Conference on Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus thuringiensis known as the “Bacillus ACT” meeting to be held September 1-5, 2013, in Victoria, Canada at the Victoria Conference Centre.  The biannual conference brings together scientists performing basic and translational research related to the Bacillus cereus group species.  Areas to be addressed at the conference include: genomics, epidemiology, ecology, cell structure and function, gene regulation, bacterial development, toxins, bacteria – host interactions, vaccines, and therapeutics.

Located at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital of the Canadian province of British Columbia.  Victoria is a unique blend of old world charm and new world experiences and is green and beautiful year-round with the mildest climate in Canada.  Vancouver Island is rated the top island in the Continental US and Canada and is one of the top ten islands in the world.  Victoria has no shortage of attractions, outdoors and in, often within a short walk of the Victoria Conference Centre.

We welcome you as an integral part of this stimulating conference and we are looking forward to seeing you in Victoria.
