The American Phytopathological Society • International Association for the Plant Protection Sciences
The American Phytopathological Society (APS) and the International Association for the Plant Protection Sciences (IAPPS) will join forces August 6-10 in Honolulu, Hawaii, for the 2011 APS-IPPC Joint Meeting, a multidisciplinary meeting of two premier professional plant science organizations.
APS is an international scientific organization devoted to the study of plant diseases and their control. APS members conduct important fundamental research that ultimately leads to the development of new products, equipment, methods, and services. They also work directly with the growers on the front lines of plant health management. Their work in research and applied plant pathology influences the success of your products and services. An exhibition of the latest products and services that advance their work is critical to our attendees.
IAPPS ensures production of sufficient quality of food/feed/fiber for a growing population and advocates implementation of sustainable plant health management strategies.
The exhibition helps suppliers make valuable, one-on-one connections with the top scientists in our field, showcases advances in research and technology, and offers solutions for equipment services and needs. An ad in a magazine or a flyer in the mail will tell our members much about your products, but nothing compares to real conversation and genuine, authentic relationship-building.
Who will come to the 2011 APS-IPPC Joint Meeting?
Order your2011 exhibit space by September 1, 2010and
Go Global in 2011 in Hawaii!This meeting will focus on new global initiatives and creating connections with plant scientists from around the world. Hawaii’s central location in the Pacific Rim is expected to draw new attendees from around the world, especially those in Asian and Pacific Rim countries.
