Dear Rosaceae community,

I hope this email finds you in good health and spirits. It is my pleasure to invite you to the Annual NAPB Conference, which will be held in Greenville, South Carolina from July 16-20th, 2023.

This year's conference promises to be an unforgettable experience, featuring a wide range of sessions, talks, and workshops covering the latest developments in plant breeding research. We have an exciting program lined up with diverse keynote speakers, and the chance to interact and network with colleagues in the field.

Registration for the conference is expected to open on April 3rd, and we encourage you to visit the meeting websitehttps://blogs.clemson.edu/napb2023/ frequently for up-to-date information. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us in Greenville for a few days of learning, sharing, and Southern hospitality.

We are excited to showcase the region's rich culture and agriculture through local food and other experiences during the conference. You don't want to miss it!

Thank you for your continued support of NAPB, and we look forward to seeing you in Greenville.

Best regards,

Ksenija Gasic and Todd Campbell Co-conveners
