In light of the continuing pandemic and ongoing group gathering and travel restrictions, Mushrooms Canada and its North American Mushroom Conference partners have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2022 (26th) North American Mushroom Conference in Vancouver, Canada. This decision was made at the borard meeting on 22 September.
Dear colleagues in the mushroom industry; it is time to register for the ISMS congress.
The next ISMS congress will be held from 14 till 17 September 2021. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic this time it will be an online event, although we would have preferred to make it a live event. However, as the statutes of ISMS demand that a congress is held every 3 to 5 years with the last one being in Amsterdam in 2016, a congress needed to be planned in 2021. Hence, an online version of the congress.
Only a few weeks to go until the ISMS e-Congress 2021 begins on Tuesday 14 September. The event will run for four days between 12:00 - 14:30 UTC (GMT) each day. Here’s an update on what to be expected, sponsorship possibilities and registration.
