The 2024 ITRC was held in New Orleans, Louisiana, at the Marriott New Orleans Hotel on Canal Street in the Historic French Quarter, June 5-8, 2024. The meeting brought together rice scientists and others from around the globe and provided for exchange of information, cooperative planning, and networking to facilitate all aspects of rice research, extension work, supply chain dynamics, and all other areas of production. Past meeting locations have included Australia (2), California, Italy, Uruguay, Thailand, and Brazil (most recently in 2020). The meeting has grown through the years and includes keynote speakers, symposia, research discipline panels, and poster sessions. The research discipline panels for this meeting included Breeding and Genomics, Plant Protection (Entomology and Pathology), Culture and Soil Science, and Weed Science and Postharvest (Economics and Quality). There were student competitions for oral and poster presentations in all of these discipline panels. The highlight of the meeting was a field tour of the rice production region of Southwest Louisiana. The Louisiana meeting was hosted by the Louisiana State University AgCenter and the USA Rice Federation.
