In 2016, the Council of Australasian Weed Societies (CAWS), along with local hosts the Weeds Society of Western Australia, are celebrating the 20^th Australasian Weeds Conference. The biennial conference is being held at the Pan Pacific in Perth, Western Australia which has traditionally been one of the highest attended AWC's, and over 300 delegates are expected from across Australasia.

Delegates will come together to meet-up with peers, engage with industry sponsors, and to listen and participate in presentations and field trips on a variety of topics including:

• Herbicide Resistance
• Weeds of National Significance
• Agricultural weeds
• Environmental weeds
• Biological control of weeds
• Modelling and new technologies to manage weeds
• Legislation, regulation and policy to manage weed

The 20AWC Organising Committee welcomes authors to submit abstracts by Monday 21 March 2016 to be considered for a presentation in the three-day program. Visit the Abstract & Themes page for further details including a list of suggested themes.
