The IUPAC International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry has been held every 4 years since 1967. In 2014, the 13th Congress will be sponsored by the American Chemical Society, Division of Agrochemicals or AGRO. It will be held at the ACS National Meeting and Exposition in San Francisco on August 10-14, 2014 at the beautiful San Francisco Marriott Marquis.
Program
The technical program will include four days of oral and poster presentations. Each meeting day will have one or two plenary speakers invited to address global issues related to the Congress theme. The 9 Main Topics and associated subtopics will be proportionately divided among the days of the Congress in concurrent sessions. Each Main Topic will have several invited session speakers to provide critical reviews of the subject matter, the state-of-the art, and projections of where the field is headed. A central focus will be the poster presentations and interactive panel discussions.
