Tuesday night dine-around

Proceedings

You will receive your complimentary copy of the Congress Proceedings on a CD when you arrive at the registration desk. Additional copies will also be available for sale. The Proceedings has been expanded to contain reports from researchers unable to be present, as well as those making presentations at the Congress. A booklet of abstracts will be provided for note-taking.

Awards Ceremony

Each Congress highlights the importance of plasticulture in horticultural crop production for the world. The Congress also provides an opportunity for the American Society of Plasticulture to recognize the achievements of those who have contributed to that growth by presenting its highest honors: the Distinguished Service Award, the ASP Pioneer Award and the Best Paper Award. The Awards announcement is made during the Keynote Session that opens the Congress.
