Over 4,300 ecologists, researchers, students and other professionals attended the largest ecological conference in history, the amount of research presented: astounding. The combined Ecological Society of America's (ESA) 90th Annual Meeting with the IX International Congress of Ecology (INTECOL) is the largest gathering of ecologists in the Society's 90-year history.

During a press briefing, led by ESA President Nancy Grimm (Arizona State University), senior ecologists will provide their thoughts on the most important lessons and results from the five and a half day ESA-INTECOL conference. There will be an announcement from the presidents of some of the world's major ecological societies, as well as a question and answer period for those in attendance.

The meeting summary will take place from 11 00 to 11 30 hrs on 12 August 2005 in room 445 A of the Palais des congrs de Montral in Montral, Quebec.
