    Please note that both tours are FULLY BOOKED!

    We are excited to announce that ISBR2023 participants will be able to take part in complimentary tours to Bayer Crop Science or The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center.
    Because of time limitations, these tours will run in parallel following completion of the symposium on Thursday 4 May. Places are limited to 60 participants for each tour and pre-registration is required.
    Buses will depart from Union Station Hotel at 2 pm Thursday 4 May and lunch boxes will be provided.

    We are updating the registration system so that you will soon be able to reserve your seat for either the Danforth or Bayer tour when you register for ISBR2023 or, for existing registrants, by logging back into your registration portal and reserving your seat.
