  • For those participating via webcast, there will be an email address provided for submission of comments.  That information will be sent out in two weeks.
  • A block of rooms has been reserved for the Summit; deadline for using this block is August 9.
  • Registration is free, but required to attend the Summit.  Go to the WSSA website to register.
  • This Summit is designed to provide a call to action for every participant, whether it be weed managers, federal and state agencies, academics, industry, stakeholder organizations, or advocacy groups.
  • A display table will be provided for those with information on herbicide resistance management.  However, to display you must contact David Shaw in advance with the information you plan to exhibit.

Please disseminate this information broadly to your constituencies.  Attendance is open to anyone, and we need diverse thoughts represented at the Summit if it is to be successful.

Look forward to seeing you September 10!
