Plant Cell Dynamics 2026

June 2026 Pullman, Washington State


  • Featuring
    • Mark your calendars now for 2027 for Plant Cell Biology International - held jointly with The European Network for Plant Endomembrane Research (ENPER) - in Crete. In 2026, the Plant Cell Dynamics meeting will be in the US, with Cecelia Rodriguez-Furlan and Andrei Smertenko co-organizing in the Pullman/Spokane, WA area.
    • The 2026 Plant Celll Dynamics meeting is open to every one irrespective of where you are located. A welcoming community, a meeting as cheap as can be, a focus on promoting the next generation of researchers and all that coupled with simply blow-your-mind plant science - who could ask for more

      Code of Conduct

  • The Meeting
    • This is not your regular conference! We are looking forward for the decades to come and strive to highlight the work of junior faculty, postdocs, graduate students and undergraduate researchers. We also celebrate that science is fun. One poster figure gets voted to be next year's conference T-shirt design. The winner for the 2024 meeting t-shirt design was Takuma Hagihara from the Toyota lab Saitama, Japan

    • The presentations, discussion and networking are always a favorite but so is the amazing food (and drinks) at every poster social. The Friday evening end of meeting party has also proven the place where discussions during the meeting are cemented into collaborations and future postdoc and graduate opportunities
  • The 2024 program
    • Keynote talks from Michelle Facette (University of Massachusetts-Amherst) and Yangnan Gu (University of California-Berkeley)
    • Oral presentations from the members of the attending labs with an emphasis towards beginning faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students
    • Extensive poster sessions
    • Workshop #1: Turbo ID with Yangnan Gu (University of California-Berkeley)
    • Workshop #2: A peek into careers in industry with Maren Arling (Corteva) and Athen Kimberlin (Aldevron)
    • Plenty of time for informal discussions
    • Conference party on Friday evening
    • Plus, if you haven't experienced a talk that is running over time getting faded out to something like Queen's "I want it all and I want it now*", (that was the 2023 song) then here is your chance!
