Mark your calendars and plan to join us.

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.

St. Louis: Heartland of U.S. and Plant Biotech

St. Louis, MO is located in the heartland of the major agricultural belt in the U.S., and is an ideal location for the 12th Congress. In addition to being the home of internationally renowned research universities and institutes, it boasts a vibrant private sector of plant biotechnology companies, food and ingredients companies, scientific supply companies, and a wide variety of other life sciences enterprises.  Attractions include the acclaimed Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis Gateway Arch, St. Louis Zoo, St. Louis Science Center, and St. Louis Cardinals baseball, among other amenities.
