​Why Should I Submit an Abstract?

When you submit an abstract to Plant Health 2021 Online, you receive the invaluable opportunity to present your research to global peers and industry leaders through a Technical Talk or Research on Demand at our annual meeting. 

Presenting your technical abstract at our virtual a​nnual 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 perso​nal 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 virtual presentation skills​​

​​​​When your abstract is selected for presentation, you'll also receive the full online meeting experience. Registering for the meeting​ gives ​you access to phytopathology thought leaders and industry peers through keynote presentations, workshops, special sessions, and a range of networking opportunities with the plant health science community.
