Abstract acceptance

Authors will be informed of their acceptance and method of presentation by 31 August 2023. The programme committee will try to accommodate your preferred method of presentation; however, as each format will form an integral part of the conference, the organising committee reserves the right to assign papers to either oral or poster presentation as necessary.

The proceedings of this symposium will be published as an issue of Acta Horticulturae (https://www.actahort.org/).

All oral presenters, including invited and keynote speakers, must submit a manuscript for Acta Horticulturae according to the Acta Horticulturae guidelines (https://www.ishs.org/authors) by 15 November 2023. 

Oral presenters who fail to submit a manuscript for publication in Acta Horticulturae may be refused the floor to present their oral presentation. Authors of posters are strongly encouraged to prepare and submit a manuscript for Acta Horticulturae.

Presenting authors of abstracts accepted for presentation (both oral/poster) must register for the symposium. Failing to register for the symposium will result in your abstract being withdrawn from the symposium program and your manuscript being withdrawn from the Acta Horticulturae symposium proceedings.

1. On arrival, please go directly to the registration desk

2. On registration, you will be provided with the location of your poster board and velcro dots for attaching your poster. Please do not use any other method of attaching your poster to the boards.
