All contestants will receive feedback from the judges to help them in future presentations. The first place paper and poster presenters will receive $250.00. (All students receive a $100 discount on registration.)

Abstract submission is now closed.

The California Invasive Plant Council invites the wildland weed community to submit abstracts for contributed papers and posters for our 17th Annual Symposium in Chico! The Cal-IPC Symposium brings together nearly 400 researchers, land managers, and other weed workers from throughout California. Paper sessions are held Thursday and Friday, October 2-3. Contributed oral presentations are 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions. A designated poster session will allow poster presenters to interact with attendees.

We are especially interested in presentations on innovative topics in the following areas:

  • Invasive plant biology and ecology
  • Control techniques
  • Mapping and monitoring
  • Habitat restoration after invasive plant control
  • Early detection and rapid response
  • Exceptional invasive plant removal projects or outreach programs
  • Social issues or policy related to invasive plant management
