9th Symposium of Zamoranos in the USA
Registration is closing soon!
Registration will be closed by October 16, 2023
The Association of Zamorano Alumni at Purdue University is delighted to host the 9th Symposium of Zamoranos in the United States. After a few years in which a pandemic changed a few of our traditions, we are glad to announce that the Zamorano Symposium is back in-person. West Lafayette will serve as home to more than one hundred Zamoranos working around the US and the world. This Symposium will bring us together to network, engage, discover amazing things people are working on, and give an insight into the agricultural research and production of our beautiful state, Indiana.
We invite everyone interested in learning about our Zamorano history and culture, innovative research, experiences of successful professionals, and high-impact talks from our amazing speakers, to attend this event.
