About the Event
The 2025 Industry Technology Session (ITS) will be held virtually (via Zoom) on Thursday, February 20. We anticipate a schedule of 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, but exact timing is subject to change. This annual event invites companies to present updates on products already in IR-4 research, as well as new technologies designed to meet the pest management needs of specialty crop producers. We have shifted the ITS to occur earlier in the year (February rather than July) to better accommodate stakeholders’ busy summer schedules and allow more time before the Project Clearance Request submission deadline of July 1, 2025.
The Industry Technology Session is a precursor to the 2025 Food Use Workshop (details on this priority-setting meeting coming soon to our Events page). Technologies discussed during this year’s ITS are eligible for IR-4 research in 2026. Find the presentations from the 2024 Industry Technology Session here.
We will continue to add information and resources to this page (such as an agenda and registration link) as our team finalizes the details. We hope you’ll join us in February!
