Registration is now open for the 11th North American Strawberry Symposium (NASS) and NASGA Annual Meeting, bringing together strawberry growers, researchers, and industry members from around the globe, February 7–10, 2027, in Orlando, Florida, USA. Florida is a key supplier of fresh strawberries during the winter months. February is peak strawberry season in the state, offering an excellent opportunity to experience commercial production firsthand and explore the innovative growing practices and technologies used in this major production region.

The Symposium will include two and a half days of workshops, a reception, research and marketing presentations, poster sessions, and networking opportunities. A post-conference tour on February 10 will explore strawberry production in the Plant City region, highlighting new technologies and including a visit to the University of Florida's Gulf Coast Research and Education Center (GCREC).

The Program Committee is committed to making this a world-class research symposium for growers and scientists, and we eagerly look forward to seeing you in Orlando. Please share this announcement with your strawberry colleagues and friends. This will be a wonderful opportunity to exchange ideas and connect with fellow growers, researchers, and members of the strawberry industry.
