This is one of the highlights of
the IPPS calendar and is held in April/May of each year. The location
varies from year to year in an effort to reach all areas. They begin
on a Thursday evening with informal activities and the Conference
is opened on Friday morning. Members present specialist technical
papers and guest speakers complement this, talking on a range of
associated topics. Field trips to nurseries, research centres and
other places of interest are arranged offering lots of variety to
the Conference. Other highlights include the Conference Dinner and
social occasions making an enjoyable and informative programme with
a very special atmosphere.
