This year’s meeting is going virtual!

The Manitoba Soil Science Society (MSSS) holds an Annual General Meeting to provide industry professionals and academics a place to share their research findings and network.  This year’s plenary session theme is “Soil Webs; Keeping connected by collaborating between disciplines”.

Both oral and poster presentation submissions are welcome. Poster presentations this year will include one-minute pre-recorded poster pitches. Oral Presentations will involve a 10-minute pre-recorded presentation with a live 2 minute Q&A.
