Sign-on, and get a ringside seat to some of the world’s best plant science research, often facilitated by cutting-edge technologies.
That this meeting could happen at all is itself a triumph of technology. Much of this technology will continue to be explored in future ASPB conferences, expanding the traditional limits of communication, collaboration, and networking and making the research presented during these meetings available to the plant science community all over the world.
At the same time, it is our intention to ensure that the human element is not left behind. We have provided ample opportunities for networking and discussion in the schedule. And we expect that these interactions will continue long after PB 2020 is over, because will need to rely on each other as the world recovers from the current pandemic and forges a more sustainable and inclusive society in which science can thrive. Everyone will have a role to play.
All of these features can be accessed through your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Find answers to any technical questions HERE.
Social distancing actions taken globally due to the coronavirus pandemic have required an unexpected pivot away from our in-person conference. But in making this pivot, ASPB has taken the opportunity to convene plant scientists from around the world in much greater numbers and to explore new (for us) ways to create unique value for our plant science community. Our goal is to ensure an educational, collaborative, and participatory —but not overwhelming—experience for all Plant Biology 2020 Worldwide Summit attendees.
We welcome any feedback on your conference experience as you explore this new kind of event with us! Please email info@aspb.org, tweet to @aspb and the #plantbio20 hashtag, or share your thoughts with any ASPB staff member you encounter during the conference.
