On behalf of the Asian-Pacific Weed Science Society (APWSS), it is my great pleasure to officially announce the 30th Asian-Pacific Weed Science Society Conference (APWSS 2027) , which will be held from 23–27 August 2027 at the Muong Thanh Luxury Hotel, Da Nang City, Vietnam. The conference will be hosted by the Vietnam Weed Science Society in collaboration with APWSS.

APWSS 2027 will be especially meaningful as it also marks the 60th Anniversary of the Society, celebrating six decades of scientific collaboration, friendship, and outstanding contributions to weed science throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

Conference Theme “Weed Research and Management under Global Climate Change”

The theme reflects our shared commitment to advancing innovative, sustainable, and science-based solutions to the emerging challenges facing agriculture under changing climatic conditions.

We kindly invite you to share this announcement widely within your national weed science societies, institutions, and professional networks, and to encourage researchers, students, extension specialists, and industry partners to participate in this important event.
