We are delighted to invite you to a symposium on Flavescence dorée and the American grapevine leafhopper. As well as a detailed review of developments during the 2026 growing season, you can look forward to the latest scientific presentations on these topics.
The aim of the event is to provide information about this quarantine disease and to promote professional dialogue between winegrowers, stakeholders, authorities and the scientific community. We look forward to discussing current challenges and potential solutions together.
