Organise a Pre-Conference at the Organic World Congress

Are you searching for opportunities to share your topic?
Consider organising a Pre-Conference!

Pre-conferences are independently organised one or two days events during the two days before the Organic World Congress. Pre-conferences allow researchers, farmers, experts and students to meet face-to-face and interactive discussion. The participants can have case studies and group discussion with different topics of organic agriculture all over the world.

In brief, Pre-conferences are:

  • A 1 or 2 days event (30 November – 1 December, 2024), before the OWC main Conference (2-4 December, 2024).
  • Proposed and organised by an Organic Stakeholder, by contracting with the OWC Organisers.
  • Dealing with a topic relevant for the Organic sector and in line with the congress’ objectives and themes.  
  • Dealing with a topic in a complementary way to the various OWC Forums.
  • Addressing stakeholders from all over the world and not a country or a region only.
  • A in-person event organised in Taiwan.
  • Included and visible on the OWC programme. 

Please note that: 

  • The OWC Organisers will assess the proposal and may ask for additional information.
  • All proposals will be reviewed by a committee composed of international and Taiwanese experts.
  • The Pre-Conference admission results will be communicated to all organisers prior to the middle of September.
  • The organiser may delay notification of admission results due to the review process.
