The International Congress of Speleology (ICS) happens only once every four years. It is an incredible opportunity for cavers and cave scientists from around the world to meet and share what are often fantastic discoveries. In many ways, the ICS is like an NSS Convention - but on steroids! And the next one is coming to Kerrville, Texas in July 2009. During tomorrow's UT Grotto meeting I will give a presentation that describes the ICS, plus the many things that need to be done to prepare for it. Cavers from around the country are actively working on it, but Texas cavers will be especially needed for many on-site tasks that only Texas cavers can do. Come and get psyched about the ICS and learn how you can help host the most significant caving event to hit the Western Hemisphere.
This will be an update to the program I gave to Bexar Grotto last month. While it isn't practical for me to travel to meet every grotto, I will provide another updated version of the program for the TSA Convention in the Spring (depending on the convention date, I may be out of town). For anyone wanting more information about the ICS, visit and bookmark www.ics2009.us and look for some major updates in the coming months.
