Program

The program of the XVIII International Silage Conference consists of key-note presentations by invited speakers, volunteered oral presentations and poster sessions.

A sponsor exhibition will also take place during the conference.

The scientific program will be complemented by five pre- or post-conference tours covering different regions of Germany.

Starting with a 1-day roundtrip giving you some impressions of typical dairy farms in western Germany and cultural highlights of the skyline of Frankfurt, we will also offer 2-, 3- and 4-day-tours providing a broad variety of agricultural and cultural highlights, being typical for the different regions of Germany and some selected companies with focus on agricultural products and machinery.

On Monday evening (July 23rd) all participants are invited to an informal Get-Together which will be held at the

Institute of Agricultural Engineering
Nußallee 5
53115 Bonn
close to the conference venue.
It starts at 17.00 and some drinks and light food will be served!
Participants are invited to use this opportunity to meet old friends and get new contacts in a relaxed atmosphere!
