The 18th WCPP has been postponed till further notice. Due to unforeseen difficulties with the local venue, the IPPS has had to make the very difficult decision to postpone the 18th World Congress on Parasitic Plants that was planned for 31 May till 6 June this year. We are currently convening over the planning for a new date and venue in 2027 or 2028, and we will announce this as soon as possible on this platform. Our sincere apologies to all who were planning and looking forward to come to this meeting. We are hopeful that we can welcome you all at our new venue!
