The New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries is pleased to invite all ISTA members, associates, and stakeholders to the 34th ISTA Congress, to be held from 5-9 May 2025, at Te Pae Conference Centre, in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The Congress is comprised of a Seed Symposium on “Seed Quality for Global Food Security and Biodiversity”, a discussion forum on new breeding technologies, plus Technical Committee meetings and the Ordinary General meeting. The Congress provides a great opportunity for laboratory staff (including analysts), seed science professionals and seed industry representatives to meet, discuss and exchange information on ensuring the supply of quality seeds and driving improvements in seed quality testing globally.

We also hope that delegates take the opportunity to explore our beautiful country of New Zealand during your visit.
