Invitation to Attend
The Organising Committee and the Asian-Pacific Weed
Science Society (APWSS) are proud to announce the 23rd
Asian-Pacific Weed Science Society Conference which
will be held at The Sebel Cairns from 26 – 29 September 2011.
The theme for APWSS 2011 is “Weed Management in a
Changing World”. The Conference is packed with innovative
scientific ideas and it will include 100 oral presentations, 50
poster presentations and 6 keynote speakers.
Be inspired by keynote speakers who are international experts
in their fields, including Professor Alan McHughen, Universityof California Riverside, USA and Dr NT Yaduraju, National
Coordinator, National Agricultural Innovation Project, Indian
Agricultural Research Institute, Delhi, India.
The Conference will provide a forum in which results canbe shared, information disseminated and international
cooperation encouraged. See weed management in practiceand learn about new ideas from papers focusing on:• Threats and risks in the Asian-Pacific region• Sustainable weed management in the Asian-Pacific region• Weed solutions for the Asian-Pacific region• Challenges for weed management

Interactive field trips will be organised to demonstrate weed
issues affecting North Queensland and activities undertaken
to reduce their impact.
There will be ample time available for networking anddiscussions during breaks in the program and through a social
program incorporating a Welcome Reception, Conference
Dinner and Field Trips.
We encourage you to attend the 23rd Asian-Pacific Weed
Science Society Conference as we believe that thisConference will provide a wonderful opportunity for scientificexchange. APWSS 2011 is the place to make valuable researchand industry connections, the place to be empowered andinspired by the knowledge shared, and the place that will
move you and your organisation into the future.
We look forward to seeing you there.
