Plant Biology is the long-running annual meeting of the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB). For 2026, ASPB and the Canadian Society of Plant Biologists (CSPB/SCBV) are convening a joint conference in Ottawa, Canada, providing an opportunity to bring together researchers, industry leaders, educators, and students from across the global plant biology community and to highlight the scientific achievements of both societies. The meeting rotates cities each year; the 2025 edition preceded the 2026 Ottawa gathering. Specific founding-year details are not stated on the official site.
