2023 Annual Meeting
Message from Dr. Hoffmann
Dear friends, collaborators and partners,
One of my favorite contemporary artists once said “To get something you’ve never had, you have to do something you never did”. We followed this advice. The vision this group had back in 2016-17 wasn’t buried in thoughts. It was put into reality, thanks to every single one of you. Our work, even if sometimes seemingly small, contributes to a larger good that unites our interests: Cleaner, more efficient, soilless production of strawberry plants. In the two days of our annual meeting in Raleigh, we will learn and discuss research from the successful sequencing of 12 strawberry cultivars over substrate research and propagation rates to field trials and economic aspects. I have never been more excited to share our progress with you and I am looking very forward to seeing you all at our annual conference in Raleigh, NC.
