The Second International Technical Seminar/Workshop on AHPND: There is a way Forward! will be held from 23-25 June 2016 at the Sukosol Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.

The purpose of the meeting is to update knowledge and exchange experiences in dealing with AHPND, to validate current concepts and models under different systems and environmental conditions and to put into action the responsibilities of the different sectors (i.e. government, producer and academe) as a way forward to deal with AHPND.

The meeting will consist of three technical sessions looking at EMS/AHPND through the lens of the industry, the academe and the government sectors and a fourth session on the way forward.

• Technical Session 1: Industry Update on AHPND.
• Technical Session 2: Academic Update on AHPND.
• Technical Session 3: National and International Framework Update.
• Way Forward.
