Competition and early bird registration closes midnight March 15 (AEST), with the winner to be drawn on Monday, March 18. Winner will be announced on social media and contacted directly.

Want to share your science?

Banana Congress 2019 is currently taking abstract submissions for those who want to share their research with those directly involved in the industry.

The ‘Science Sessions’ offer a chance to present a speed talk or a poster display to the banana growers and stakeholders it affects.

Submissions close March 29. Details here.
