Why isn't there a Web site for the global onion conference?


I've been looking and looking and looking, but I can't find a Web site for this conference. Just makes me teary-eyed thinking about it.

Actually, I'd just like to know what kind of onions they recommend on a nice juicy rib-eye steak.


Research helps breeders really know their onions to enhance global food security

"This research will not only help individual commercial growers and seed producers but will also contribute significantly to global food security, particularly in situations where rising temperatures are an issue. Enhanced resistance to Fusarium oxysporum will be of importance in dealing with rising temperatures as basal rot is more active and acute in warmer conditions.

Dr Andrew Taylor will present his work at the Onion Global 2011 conference in Deidesheim Germany which runs from 16th-18th August."

In all seriousness, I'd like to know more about what they discuss at this conference. But there isn't an online agenda anywhere to be found.
