NCWSS will convene its annual meeting in St. Louis, Missouri, at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch.

Welcome to the 72nd annual North Central Weed Science Society at the Hyatt Regency at the Arch in St. Louis, MO. St. Louis is called the “Gateway to the West” in tribute to its role in the westward expansion of the United States. This meeting is a gateway to great achievements in weed science. You can learn the latest research, education, and outreach activities in the field of weed science. Don't miss this opportunity to meet with your fellow NCWSS members to learn new technologies, share information and experiences, and visit with your friends.
 
Program Chair, Christy Sprague, has assembled an excellent program. The program includes some interesting symposia including: “Weed Management through Equipment and Application Technologies” on Wednesday morning, “Taking the Next Step: Preparing for your Future Career”, and “An Open Dialogue on Dicamba Technology” on Wednesday afternoon. The popular “What’s New in Industry” Session will take place on Thursday morning following the Industry breakfast.
