The Asian Regional Meeting and Training Workshop was successfully
convened by ACB and held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 16 to 19
November 2009. The event had 43 representatives in attendance,
including from ten current GBIF Participants, six ASEAN Member
States and several regional partners. The meeting also provided
an opportunity to discuss the consolidation of Participant BIFs in
the region, and the promotion of GBIF amongst prospective Participant countries. An interim Asian Regional Nodes Committee was established during this meeting with the aim of preparing a regional agenda and action plan on GBIF-related activities.
