Plenary Session. Vectors & Viruses

Posters. We will have a poster session as part of the Plenary Session.

  • Therefore, please bring one or more posters related to pests and pathogens of ornamentals.
  • The only requirement is that the poster be a single sheet so it can be supported at the top edge.
  • Posters can be those presented recently elsewhere or prepared for the workshop.
  • Please send the title of your poster(s) to the appropriate program chair (see below).
  • The display area is limited so depending on response, we may have to limit posters to one per unique group.

Program topics. The program planning committees are now seeking input for program topics you would like to see included in the entomology and plant pathology discipline sessions throughout the week. Please send your suggestions to the appropriate program chair (see below).

Contributed presentations. We are requesting contributed presentations from individuals on any topic related to ornamental diseases and insects.

  • Contributed presentations will have a time limit dependent on the number contributed.
  • Please respond to the appropriate program chair with the title(s) of a contributed presentation you would like to make (see below)

Wednesday afternoon. One organized group activity this year will be the very popular 'Fungal Foray' led by Dr. Rich Baird. Other group activities per requests. Some on your 'own' activities are also available in the area.
