More than 1,800 plant scientists from around the world are on Oahu.
They’re meeting at the Hawaii Convention Center to talk about their research over the past year.
"And this meeting is the bringing together of plant pathologists all over the world who will be sharing their research results. They’ll be getting acquainted with each other, building networks and be able to go home with new information, new friends, new contacts to deal with these problems almost all of which are worldwide anyway," said Jim Cook, a retired professor.
The scientists will be meeting everyday until Wednesday.
