Conference Description
The Plant-Herbivore Interaction GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
In 2025, the Plant-Herbivore Interaction GRC will be framed around the concept of co-evolution and we will move the conference from Ventura to Pomona, California, near the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains. The Plant-Herbivore Interaction GRC has a long history of being a supportive, rigorous, and fun meeting for those focused on some of the most impactful species on the planet: plants and the animals that eat them.
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by May 15, 2024. Please check back for updates.
