Everyone that attended virtual workshops in 2021 and 2022, now have access to the formatted recordings for the workshop topics they attended. The 2021 participants will have access to the 2022 materials. Instructors made some improvements between the two years and decided to give everyone access to the 2022 materials.

We are pleased to announce the 2023 PPCDL-Advanced Diagnostic Workshops hosted by the Scientists of the Plant Pathogen Confirmatory Diagnostic Laboratory (PPCDL) in Laurel, Maryland.

After a 2-year pause, we have planned for the return of in-person workshops. The planning team has developed a schedule that offers a wide variety of topics and delivery methods…nine topics in all…and both in-person and virtual workshops.

We need your input to create a tentative plan for the 2023 Beltsville Workshops. 

Please complete the following survey and indicate if you are interested in attending one or more of the subject matter workshops listed.
