INTRODUCTION
Dear Colleague,
Mark your calendar and make plans to attend the International
Symposium on Protected Culture in a Mild-Winter Climate scheduled March
23-27, 2004 in Orlando, Florida, USA. This web site will be used to
provide you with up-to-date information on the symposium and to assist
you with making arrangements for your participation.
In the near future, you will be able to submit your abstract
online, register for the conference online and even find out about
airline, hotel and other travel arrangements. And, you will be able
to conveniently pay for your registration fee with a Visa, Master Card,
Discover or American Express credit card. Please take a moment to add
this site to your bookmark list.
This international symposium will provide numerous opportunities
for participants to share up-to-date information and research, and
to discuss common concerns with colleagues from around the world.
This exchange of information is vital to the continued improvement
and international advancement of protected culture in mild-winter
climates, and we invite you to join us.
See you in Orlando!

WHO
SHOULD ATTEND?
 The International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS), and the
Commission for Protected Cultivation and the Working Group for Protected
Culture in a Mild-Winter Climate will organize the 2004 International
Symposium. Attendees will include academicians, scientists, and students
with interests in protected cultivation. Some private consultants
may be interested as well as corporate representatives.
Most occupations of interest will be those involved in research
or commercial production of horticultural crops using protected cultivation,
primarily vegetables and fruits, and possibly cut flowers.
Attendees may be involved in cultural production, pest management,
postharvest fruit quality and/or economics and marketing.

PURPOSE
The objective of this symposium is to gather and disseminate
international expertise in the area of protected culture. The program
will target worldwide concerns of production, non-chemical pest management,
and global competition.
The most widely used soil fumigant, methyl bromide, will
no longer be available in many countries for vegetable production in
2005. Protected cultivation of horticultural crops is expanding
world-wide, not only because crops can be grown without soil, thus,
eliminating the need for methyl bromide, but also, high-quality product
is achieved using reduced chemicals, water, and other fuel inputs when
grown in areas with a mild-winter climate. However, there are
several world-wide concerns which will be brought to the table at the
meeting in 2004, those being the challenges of soilless production such
as water restrictions, reduced pesticide use and biological control of
both insects and diseases, and the overall economics of such ventures,
including product quality and marketing. This will be a multi-disciplinary
meeting of researchers, growers, and industry members to share international
information at the both the practical and scientific levels.

SYMPOSIUM
STRUCTURE
Invited speakers and a limited number of volunteer speakers
will address programmatic topics over the course of the symposium during
plenary sessions. The majority of volunteer presenters will be scheduled
to present their information during poster sessions scheduled in conjunction
with the program agenda. There will be plenty of opportunity for interaction
during Q&A, topical discussion periods and networking functions. Authors will be asked to submit full manuscripts for
review and publication in
a formal proceedings to be published post-conference by ISHS. The
proceedings of the meeting will be published by the ISHS in its series
Acta Horticulturae. Each individual participant, paying
the fee, will receive a copy of the proceedings. Furthermore, the titles
of the papers published, authors, abstracts and keywords will be available
freely on the ISHS Website. Full articles will be retrievable as PDF files
at moderate prices (and to some extent for free to ISHS members).

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
All individuals involved in research or commercial production
of Horticultural crops using protected cultivation are strongly encouraged
to submit an abstract for consideration as an oral or poster presentation.
Abstracts must be submitted electronically via the online submission form by December 15, 2003 following
the detailed submission instructions posted on the symposium web site.
