Troubleshooting
If you encounter difficulties accessing the submission portal, such as firewall restrictions, consider trying the following solutions:
- Access the portal on a desktop, as it is not optimised for small mobile devices.
- Use a different browser; the portal works best with Google Chrome.
- Connect to a different network, such as your personal internet connection. Organisation firewalls often block access, but switching to a non-workplace network typically resolves this issue.
Should the above suggestions not resolve your access issue, please contact the Congress Managers at icbi2027@arinexgroup.com.
Indigenous Participation Support
First Nations peoples hold deep cultural knowledge, environmental expertise, and longstanding connections to Country that are invaluable to biosecurity management. Their close relationship with land and sea environments enables the early identification of changes in ecosystems, emerging pests, diseases, and invasive species.
Participation by First Nations representatives helps ensure that biosecurity strategies are informed by diverse perspectives and local knowledge, leading to more effective and sustainable outcomes. It also supports collaboration between Traditional Owners, industry, researchers, government agencies, and other stakeholders in protecting Australia’s environmental, agricultural, and cultural assets.
Thanks to generous sponsors, we are delighted to offer support for First Nations delegates to participate in ICBI 2027 with complimentary full registration and accommodation in Perth during the conference. We have several offers available to Indigenous presenters. To be eligible, you must be an Indigenous person with an abstract accepted for an oral presentation at ICBI 2027. Please register your interest through the Abstract portal.
The organisers would like to thank the following sponsors for helping secure Indigenous Participation Support:
Centre of Excellence for Biosecurity Risk Analysis (CEBRA)
