The Asian-Pacific Weed Science Society Conference returns to Australia for the third time in 2011 and will focus on the theme "Weed Management in a Changing World". The Conference is the only international weed management conference to be held in Australia since the early 1990s and the only major national Conference in three years.
There will be presentations on climate change, lack of water, Biosecurity, population growth and the utilisation of weeds in the future.
Field trips will be organised to demonstrate weed issues affecting Northern Queensland, Australia and activities undertaken to reduce their impact. These will be selected based on their applicability throughout the Asia Pacific region.
