Register for April EIPD conference

Registration is now open for the 2012 Endemic and Invasive Pests and Diseases Strategic Initiative conference on April 25 and 26. The meetings will be held at the UC Davis Conference Center.

Beth Grafton-Cardwell, EIPD strategic initiative leader, invites ANR colleagues to join the discussions on how ANR can respond to endemic and emerging pest and disease problems by building partnerships, solving problems and informing policy.

Attendees can also participate in program team and workgroup meetings. So far, the Integrated Pest Management Program Team and the Spray Application Technology Work Group, Weed Work Group and Integrated Grape Work Group will be meeting during the conference. Other program team leaders and workgroup chairs may request meeting space during the conference by completing a short survey.

A poster session is planned during the strolling dinner reception on April 25. To reserve poster board space, submit poster titles when you register.

Registration is separate for the “Educating the Public about New Invasive Species Threatening California’s Plant Ecosystems” meeting, which will be held on April 24 at the same location.
