Symposium FAQs

What are our participant expectations for this event?

Cal-IPC is committed to creating a Symposium environment that is welcoming, safe, collaborative, supportive, and productive for all attendees. We value our diverse perspectives, expertise, opinions, backgrounds, and life experiences, and believe that this collective diversity is essential to meeting our mission. When registering, attendees must agree to the Event Code of Conduct to participate.

How do I get DPR CEUs?

Licensed herbicide applicators can receive continuing education units (CEUs) for many Symposium sessions. This year the Symposium will provide 2 hours fulfilling “Herbicide Laws & Regulations” and 15 hours of “Other” units (including the Statewide WMA Meeting and Workshops). To get credit, be sure to sign up for DPR CEUs with your registration and to follow DPR instructions. Our additional fee covers DPR costs and our staff time for processing. More detailed directions are posted on our DPR CEUs page.

Will recordings of presentations be available online?

Symposium attendees can see recordings of sessions through the Whova app. (In general, abstracts and slide deck files are available to attendees in advance of live presentations.) After the Symposium is over, video recordings will be posted to the Cal-IPC Symposium Archive.

Where can I access the online Symposium platform?

You can access the online Symposium platform through Whova. We recommend downloading the Whova app on your mobile device for convenient access to notifications, chats, and other event features.

How do I participate in the Photo Contest?

Anyone can enter, anyone can vote! See our Photo Contest page. Your photos may be used in future Cal-IPC outreach materials such as our website, brochures, campaigns, or reports (with photographer credit, of course).

What is the refund policy?

Please purchase carefully. No refunds except under extenuating circumstances.

How do I provide feedback?
