IFS 75th Anniversary Programme
More details
Conferences and webinars organised by the International Fertiliser Society
The Society normally organises mix of physical and online events, covering a variety of technical aspects of fertiliser production and crop nutrition. In 2022 we moved from holding two conferences each year (one covering aspects of fertiliser production and handling and the other covering topics relating to crop nutrition and fertiliser usage) to have one combined one. The enhanced flexibility and networking opportunities that this provided were much appreciated by delegates. Accordingly our next Conference will also be a combined one, to be held in December 2023, in Cambridge, UK.
This will offer c.20 extended presentations on topics that are both topical and of substance, by leading researchers and practitioners within the industry, most of which are accompanied by detailed written papers. Presentation length is typically twice that at some conferences, providing speakers ample opportunities to explore their subject in depth. For delegates from the UK, attendance at this conferences will be worth 12 BASIS FACTS CPD points.
Further, our conferences are structured to provide ample time for valuable discussion and networking, including a conference dinner, which online events cannot replicate. The value of this for those with a technical focus is enhanced by the non-commercial, collegiate atmosphere, due to the Society’s culture of commercial neutrality and independence.
Both Members and non-Members of the Society are welcome to attend our conferences. Members benefit from a substantial discount off the Registration fee.
Information on the programme for our 2023 Conference will be made available during June and July.

Past Agronomic Conferences
Our residential Agronomic Conferences are held at Robinson College, Cambridge, UK, in the first half of December. In addition to the presentations, this event also offers a poster display, with a dedicated session for the consideration of these, along with the final of the annual Brian Chambers International Award for Early Career Researchers in Crop Nutrition.

Webinars looking at aspects of soil carbon
In May 2022 the Society was delighted to be partnering with Fertilizer Australia to run a series of three webinars covering aspects of soil carbon management under the different conditions that exists in Europe and Australia. As well as a presentation by an expert from both parts of the world, each webinar included a panel discussion to explore the issues in more detail.
