Harnessing new weed management systems and tools helps us solve weed problems faster and more efficiently, and puts evidence at the core of decision making. Innovative advances in technology, including new ways of modelling, communication, surveillance and detection, are changing the weed management landscape rapidly. We’ll discuss the latest technologies that can help weed managers save money, time and energy—and make weed management more effective and precise. Find out what interesting and helpful new technologies are in our industry’s future.

Our industry is continually investing in research to inform better strategies and practices to protect our future. Speakers will present the latest research and applied management findings and discuss best practice use of control tools and technologies. We will also learn about weed management research that is currently underway, and investigate knowledge gaps that require new research.
