We are proud to announce our three keynote speakers for the 24th World Orchid Conference in Dresden.
Professor of biology
Harold KOOPOWITZ
Renowned orchid expert, taxonomist, book author and famous breeder.
Molecular biologist & botanist
Nora DE ANGELLI
Exciting research on European orchid pollinators, taxonomy and propagation.
Botanist & researcher
Chu Xuan CANH
Known for his exceptional photographic work at orchid habitats in Vietnam.
A central feature of the WOC is its extensive lecture program, featuring over 70 planned presentations across three parallel streams.
We prioritize not only showcasing renowned experts in orchid research and cultivation but also providing a platform for young speakers to share their ideas and insights with a broad audience. This blend of experience and fresh perspectives will enrich discussions and open new avenues for exploration.
Speaker Abstracts
The lecture program will be complemented by a scientific poster presentation that visually represents further topics, focusing on the exploration of individual species and genera. The WOC offers an excellent opportunity to present the latest findings on selected orchid species, their pollinators, phylogenetics, and evolution. Particularly intriguing is the comparison of orchids across (almost) all continents and climate zones, which opens up numerous avenues for discussion.
