On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to the 7th International Safflower Conference.

The 7th International Safflower Conference is proudly being held in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia from 3rd-7th November 2008.
The program for the Conference will include themes related to Breeding/genetics
Biotechnology, Germplasm, Agronomy, Production issues, Quality and Safflower products (including cut flowers and biodiesel).
The Conference Social Program has been specifically designed to allow delegates time away from the formalities of the conference sessions to network and exchange ideas with colleagues and friends from around the world.
Wagga Wagga is a vibrant and accessible regional Australian city. Delegates and their partners will have the opportunity to experience a unique social and tour program showcasing the highlight's of the city and its region.
