General Information About the Conference
During the conference we participate in informal discussions about insect/arthropod pest research in field, row, vegetable, seed, small fruit, and other crops in the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West. This is not a “spray” meeting only - but reports dealing with biological control, IPM, info-chemicals, etc., are encouraged and welcomed. We invite you to make a 10 to 15 minute oral presentation at the conference.
Presenters are encouraged to submit more than one abstract; however, the number of actual presentations allowed may be limited based on the number of abstracts submitted. Presenters who want to submit more than one presentation should prioritize their talks so organizers can organize a sequence of speakers and skip talks if time is short.
Instructions for abstract submission are available here
