We are excited and honored to have 12 outstanding Plenary Speakers from a range of institutions who will deliver thoughtful and provocative lectures that range from climate policy and implications for agriculture, to cutting edge experimental science and applications of science that enhance the lives of humankind, as well as forward looking research that projects uses of biotechnology into the future. Congress attendees will have the opportunity to interact with leading scientists from a range of disciplines, including in plant, microbial, and biomedical research. For a complete listing of confirmed plenary speakers, please visit our �Welcome/Speaker� page
The Program Committee has scheduled over 50 symposia, each with at least one specially selected Keynote Speaker. Other session speakers will be selected by the symposia organizers from abstracts submitted by you � the attendees to the Congress!

We welcome you to register today to attend the 2010 IAPB Congress in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Take advantage of this chance to see and hear the true importance of agriculture in the biology of the 21st century.
