Soy 2025: 19th Biennial Conference on Molecular & Cellular Biology of the Soybean<\/h2>\n

We look forward to seeing you on the shores of Lake Mendota for Soy2025: the 19th Biennial Molecular & Cellular Biology of the Soybean conference.\u00a0 21st<\/span>\u00a0century soybean research is generating new findings at a rapid pace, new experimental methodologies are being exploited by public and private sector researchers, and the importance of soybean for global food supplies and farmer income ensure a high level of interest.<\/p>\n

Conference registration rates have been set quite low, especially for students and postdoctoral scientists, and affordable campus dormitory rooms for attendees of all career levels will not only be available but are the closest accommodations to the meeting site. The 2025 meeting will include many oral talks by discipline-leading speakers, but will also emphasize poster presentations and presenters at two extended poster sessions. This will include a spotlighted Wednesday evening (first-day) poster session with food and beverages, so that attendees can know each other right at the beginning of the conference. For each oral session a speaker will be chosen from the poster submissions.<\/p>\n

This meeting will be held at the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison Memorial Union, a very popular conference site. We have booked a grand conference room that is close to the poster and lunch rooms.\u00a0 Group lunches and two evening meals (all included in meeting registration) will be served at Memorial Union, with dining on the 2nd floor deck of the Terrace overlooking Lake Mendota.<\/p>\n
