The Call for Abstracts will open April 1. Information for presenters will be updated on this page when it is available. Thank you for sharing your work! If selected you will be able to register using our discounted Presenter rates.
We welcome presentations on all aspects of invasive plant biology and management in California and beyond. In addition, special topics this year include:
- Biological control of weeds
- The cost of not managing invasive plants
- Local management and engagement actions that work
- Global movement of aquatic and wetland weeds
- Management strategies for habitats with ubiquitous weeds
- Tools and techniques for weed management
- Geospatial technologies and approaches
- Protecting biodiversity through weed management
- Preventing horticultural invasives
- And, per our theme, anything related to thinking globally and weeding locally!
Registration Discounts
Presenters get a significant discount on their Symposium registration. After the submission deadline our program team will review submitted abstracts. In mid-July we will notify everyone regarding whether they have been selected to present. If you are a student presenter, your acceptance email will include a special code to enter when you register. All other presenters will simply select the special presenter rate when they register.
Student Presentation Contest
Students, from K-12 to graduate students, as well as recent graduates (within one year after graduation) are encouraged to enter our Student Presentation Contest, which recognizes the top presenters with an honorarium! Select “student contest” on the abstract submission form.
Archive
After the Symposium, we post PDF files of slide decks and posters in our online Symposium archive so more people can learn from it in the future (unless you select the option asking us not to on the submission form). When we record talks, we make recordings available in the archive as well.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the California stewardship community!
