IWPMB is the premier international conference for researchers interested in processes related to plant membranes. For the past 50 years, this workshop has provided a forum for presentation of new findings in membrane transport processes, cell biology, cell to cell communication, and plant interactions with the environment. The Workshop participants meet together as a group without simultaneous breakout sessions.  The goal is to generate scientific discussion and exchange of ideas that includes leading scientists, early career researchers, and students.
