The International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds (ISBCW) is the most
important event for weed biocontrol scientists all over the world. The event provides
an opportunity for participants to exchange updates on weed biocontrol research and
work programmes, renew ties of friendship, develop new collaborations, and discuss
the way forward for the biological control of weeds.
The next ISBCW symposium will be held in Rotorua from the 8th to the 13th of March
2026, a little over 18 months away. The symposium will present an opportunity to
hear from keynote speakers and other leading experts from various countries as they
share their latest work. There will be plenty of networking opportunities and a chance
to participate in a local field trip to see biocontrol of weeds in action in the local
area. There will also be a post-conference field trip to Rarotonga, which will offer the
opportunity to learn more about the pivotal role of biocontrol as the ultimate solution
for managing widespread tropical Pacific weeds.
To find out more about the event and stay up to date with the latest news, please
register on the ISBCW Rotorua website (http://www.isbcw-rotorua.com/#register). We
also invite you to share awareness of the symposium widely with those who may be
interested.
