First ISHS International Humulus Symposium
1 - 7 August 2004, Corvallis, Oregon

INVITATION

The Organizing Committee has the great pleasure of inviting you to participate in the 1st International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) International Humulus Symposium in Corvallis, Oregon, a focus on hop research activities in the Pacific Northwestern United States. The symposium is sponsored by the ISHS Commission on Plant Genetic Resources and Section: Medicinal and Aromatic Plants. The Symposium will be held at the Oregon State University's LaSells Stewart Center in Corvallis, Oregon, from 1 - 7 August, 2004. The symposium will be held in conjunction with the Hop Research Council Annual Meeting.

With the excellent support of the hop industry and grower community we have planned a stimulating event. The Symposium will provide numerous opportunities for participants to share up-to-date information and research on Humulus. It will be a great chance for everyone to get acquainted with international colleagues and discuss the latest information. The Symposium will be occurring prior to harvest season so the Post-symposium tour will have ample opportunity to observe Pacific Northwestern production practices. We look forward to seeing you in Corvallis in August 2004.

Kim E. Hummer and John Henning, Co-Conveners.
