2025 CWSS-SCM Annual Meeting
What better way to celebrate the end of the field season than with the 2025 CWSS-WSSA joint meeting!
From November 2-7 2025 we look forward to seeing you all at the beautiful Hilton Lac-Leamy in Gatineau, QC. The venue is situated on the shores of Lac Leamy with direct connections to Casino du Lac-Leamy. The Canadian Museum of History is within five kilometers, and Downtown Ottawa is seven kilometers away. The hotel features indoor and outdoor year-round pools, so be sure to bring your swim trunks.
While all perspectives and prospective speakers are welcomed; this year’s Local Arrangements Committee chose to theme the meeting around the three B’s of our professions: Biosurveillance, Biodiversity and Biocontrol. We hope that you will find these topics engaging and varied enough to provide something for everybody!
We all know that this society thrives with new ideas and fresh perspectives and as such we hope that each and everyone of you will spread the word about this event. We want to see regular and new faces at this event from graduate students to field technicians to industry professionals; the more the merrier! On top of our usual weed science community, we are inviting invasive plant researchers and investigators working at the intersection of weed-insect interactions, and other biotic interactions for the control of weeds and invasive plants.
This year’s event will also feature: organized trips to the Ottawa Research and Development Centre and local attractions; speedy presentations; trivia night; plenary sessions, workshops, and the ever popular photo contest with money prizes! (send your photos early!).
Room rates are anticipated to be approximately 289$ (2 queen beds).
Registration for the event will go live in August 2025.
Calls for papers and presenters will go out shortly.
Calls for Awards and scholarships can be seen here
We look forward to seeing you all in November!
