         Partnering with Plants to Remediate, Recover, Renew

October 26-28, 2026

Providence, Rhode Island, USA

at the Omni Hotel Providence

This conference's theme will focus on bringing together our best phytotechnology science and research with practical applications that address real-world needs. As always, the conference will include the latest research regarding the scientific ability of plants to uptake, transform, translocate, or sequester pollutants that find their way into our natural resources- our waters, our soils, our air, and our food. But sometimes innovation in practical application is born in the field, and only by bringing the science and application together can we achieve meaningful progress towards our world's health and productivity challenges.
