IPS Annual Meeting and National Symposium
The Annual Meeting and National Symposium are the Society’s premier event, attracting some 400-500 participants a year. The latest advances in plant science are presented and attendees have the opportunity to participate in symposia and discussion sessions, view hundreds of technical posters, present research results, attend special events, learn about new products and services, and connect with others who share their interests. National Symposium gives members the opportunity to meet with colleagues in their geographic areas to exchange ideas, and share information.  Special Symposia and lecture to discuss important plant pathological problems of national interest are organized at the annual general body meeting of the society. In addition, paper reading poster sessions are also held, where scientists present the results of their research findings. Some topics of special significance to the discipline are also taken up for the pannel discussions. The abstract of such papers are published in the ensuing issue of the journal and proceedings of the symposia as special bulletins.
