About the Conference

Embracing the theme “Rethink, Reinvent, Revolutionize,” the 2024 NAPB Annual Meeting invites you to the innovation hubs of St. Louis, Missouri, and Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, from July 21 to 25. Set in the Midwest’s epicenters of creativity and technological progress, this event is set to become a focal point for a diverse global community of students, scientists, innovators, startups, and industry leaders.

This conference is designed to challenge conventional wisdom in plant breeding, that is guided by the foundational Breeders’ Equation, signaling a time to push beyond known limits. As we gather in these dynamic innovation hubs, we aim to explore new horizons in crop improvement, leveraging the latest in technology and questioning established paradigms.

Join us for this transformative experience, where the relentless pursuit of knowledge meets the cutting edge of science and technology, marking a bold step into the future of limitless possibilities in plant breeding.
