The Plant Sciences Symposium has become an annual event on University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. As an organization, we are fortunate to work with large sponsorships from Vylor Inc. (Previously Corteva Agrisciences before 2026) through their Vylor Symposia Series (Then Corteva Symposia Series) as well as many other companies to organize and facilitate the event.
