WMSSA will host a South Australian Weeds and Pests Conference, September 24th and 25th 2025 at the University of Adelaide North Terrace. The conference will cover weeds, vertebrate, and invertebrate pests, with academics and expert operational practitioners presenting on a range of topics. This is an opportunity to network with the broader South Australian weed and pest management community.

Abstracts should contain new research, novel techniques, or any successful programs or ideas that you would like to share with the weeds and pest management community. Deadline for abstract submissions is May 4th 2025.
A conference dinner will be held on the 24th (first evening of the conference) from 6-9pm. A must do activity for networking and socialising for all delegates.
