Palms 2026

[Cindy Adair]

I have been asked to spread the word about the World Palm Symposium supported in part by the IPS as part of our research, education and conservation mission statement.
 

Below I copy a letter from the Organizing Committee:
 

Dear fellow palm researchers and enthusiasts!

 

Abstract submissions and early-bird registration are now open for PALMS 2026 Singapore! We are now accepting submissions for talks and posters related to the following themes about palms: 1. Ecology and ecophysiology 2. Systematics, phylogenetics, and evolution 3. Biogeography, macroecology and macroevolution 4. Plant-animal interactions 5. Uses and conservation 6. Palms in the human landscape Hands-on workshops in palm propagation and collecting—plus exclusive field trips into Singapore’s nature reserves—are coming up. Join us and be part of it.
