UPCOMING EVENTS
Get ready to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of sustainable agriculture!
SABO is proud to host the Bio-Alliance SA-Brazil event this November, in partnership with the Agricultural Attaché of the Brazilian Embassy and representatives from stakeholders in the Biological Industry in Brazil.
Taking place this November at Future Africa at the University of Pretoria, the event will bring together stakeholders from across the agricultural bioproduct value chain for two days of learning, discussion, and global partnership.
With the theme, Unlocking the Value of Bio-Inputs Through Collaborative Partnerships, Bio-Alliance SA- Brazil 2025 will focus on the impact of collaboration towards achieving sustainable, science-based bio-inputs solutions at a global scale.
Expect engaging keynote addresses, expert panels, and networking opportunities with stakeholders from all spheres of the industry.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a collaborative movement of shaping the future of sustainable agriculture.
The 54th SASPP Biennial Congress, with the theme: “Ukuqinisekisa Ikusasa Elisimeme Ngempilo Yezitshalo” (English translation “Ensuring a Sustainable Future through Plant Health”), will be hosted at the Premier Hotel Umhlanga from 18 – 21 January 2026.

IJPB Symposium 2026 – Chemical interactions between plants and their environment: from the molecule to the field
23-25 September 2026 – IJPB, INRAE Ile-de-France – Versailles-Saclay
The IJPB Symposium 2026 is dedicated to “Chemical interactions between plants and their environment: from the molecule to the field”, a booming research field in which IJPB develops integrative approaches bridging plant metabolism and its effect on biotic/abiotic interactions and vice versa.
The symposium will comprise an opening lecture and four thematic sessions, each involving an international and an IJPB keynote speaker, as well as presentations from participants selected from submitted abstracts. The themes of each session are as follows:
1 – Identification/analysis of chemical signals involved in plant response to their environment
2 – Molecular and cellular mechanisms of chemical responses to biotic and abiotic stress: Perception and transduction of chemical signals
3 – Integration of chemical interactions in ecological communities and agroecosystems
4 – Agroecological innovations derived from the study of how plants interact with their environment
This exciting meeting aims to foster collaborations and facilitate knowledge exchange among participants by bringing together renowned specialists in the field and a high level of interdisciplinary.
The symposium will also feature a workshop on plant specialized metabolite analysis, conducted in collaboration with the Chemistry/Metabolism platform PO-Chem, and a tour of the Plant Facilities PO-Plants and the Phenoscope PO-Pheno, all three of which are part of the Plant Observatory (PO) of the IJPB.
Ahead of the symposium, the ENVIE Network will hold its 5th plenary edition in Versailles from 21 to 23 September 2026, organised as part of a MULTISTRESS satellite workshop.
We look forward to meeting you in Versailles! Further information will be available by November 2025.
