The Plant Biology 2024 Abstract Submission portal is now open and accepting proposals. ASPB is happy to support the Hawaiian Islands and host Plant Biology 2024 in Honolulu, Hawaii June 22 to 26, 2024.

Understanding the diverse ASPB community, ASPB aims to provide participants with an opportunity to gain knowledge and information in a variety of ways at the Plant Biology Conference. Please review the four types of presentation categories available.

Four Submission Categories:

Authors are limited to two submissions

1. Community Concurrent Symposium Proposals: These are 90-minute in-person scientific symposium organized by the proposal submitter. The submitter will be fully responsible for designing a concurrent symposium that includes 4-5 talks. The submitter will recruit 4-5 speakers to participate in the symposium and will ensure that all speakers draft and submit scientific proposal for their talks.

2. Workshops Proposals: Workshops may be 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes in duration and be delivered in-person or virtually. The proposal submitter will be responsible for fully designing the workshop. Workshops are interactive, provide hands-on learning opportunities, and offer clear learning objective for participants.

Workshop topics are determined by the proposal submitter. Historically, topics have included communication techniques to mental health to career development and everything in-between.
