The NDSU Soybean Symposium will take place on March 5, 2026, at the NDSU Memorial Union Ballroom, bringing together researchers, agriculture professionals, and students to share knowledge and strengthen collaboration in soybean research. The event focuses on building connections across different research areas while encouraging clear communication and practical understanding of scientific work.
The purpose of the symposium is to connect multiple disciplines related to soybean research, including agronomy, breeding, and new uses. By bringing these areas together, the event helps researchers exchange ideas, develop partnerships, and explore new opportunities for innovation. Presenters will explain their work in simple language to make research more accessible and encourage collaboration among participants from different backgrounds.
The 2026 symposium features the plenary theme “Communication in Science,” led by three keynote speakers recognized for their ability to connect advanced technology with industry stakeholders. These sessions will focus on improving how scientific research is shared and understood by growers, industry professionals, and the broader agricultural community.
In addition to keynote presentations, the event will include oral and poster sessions covering three main research areas: agronomy, plant pathology, and new uses for soybeans. These sessions allow researchers to present current findings, discuss challenges, and highlight practical applications that support soybean production and industry growth.
The symposium also serves as a networking platform, allowing attendees to build professional relationships and explore future research collaborations. Event organizers encourage participation from researchers and agricultural professionals interested in advancing soybean science and improving industry outcomes, for event registration visit.
Contact information is provided for event support, and requests for accommodations related to disability are encouraged at least two weeks before the event. Overall, the NDSU Soybean Symposium supports innovation, communication, and collaboration while helping strengthen the future of soybean research and agricultural development.
