Our annual Conference Poster Session showcases plant production research as well as practical or new ideas. Consider preparing a poster on cool things you do in your company, some new production or propagation process or a new piece of equipment. We have a step by step guide to help you through the process: GUIDE. We’ll even print the poster for you and get it to the conference in Madison – doesn’t get easier than that!
