IAPB congresses are held at 4-year intervals and typically attract research scientists from wide-ranging fields of plant and agricultural biotechnology from around the world. This year, their theme is: “Sustainability through agricultural biotechnology: Food, biomaterials, energy, and environment.”  SIVB annual meetings are international events focusing on the science, novel technologies, and advances of in vitro biology for both plants and animals. Approximately 60 plenary and keynote lectures will participate; attendance is anticipated at approximately 1,500.
