Why Submit an Abstract?

When you submit an abstract to Plant Health 2025, you receive the invaluable opportunity to present your research to global peers and industry leaders - both during and after the conference.

Presenting your technical abstract at the annual meeting benefits your professional development, research, and area of study. Submitting your research allows you to:

  • get exposure to future employers and expand your professional network
  • advocate for a key area of science and your personal field of interest
  • create awareness of your research to attendees from other disciplines
  • introduce fresh ideas and improvements that can benefit plant health science
  • improve the visibility of your research to a worldwide community of experts
  • practice and refine your presentation skills
  • participate in opportunities post-conference to share your work and collaborate
