International Vanda and Slipper Orchid Symposium

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Does anyone have any information on this years event?

 

[NYEric]

Not yet. I am hoping it's around the time of the paintball World Cup again, so I can combine the trip.

The Krull-Smith event is November 1-3, 2024. I can't be there because need to vote in NYC. If anyone is going let me know, there are vendors from South Africa, Malaysia, and Taiwan, I would like to get some products from.

Good for you, Eric. I admire that. That is our duty (to vote) as citizens.

This fall’s event is a Phalaenopsis symposium. I emailed Krull Smith twice asking if there was going to be a Slipper symposium this year and received no response.

I changed my plans. I can vote early but still will arrive in Florida too late for the event.

Hey everyone,
The Symposium will be mixed with the IPA Symposium this year so the topics are covering Paphiopedilum and Phalaenopsis. Tonight is the last night for registration at www.phal.org
We are sponsoring the registration costs this year, so registration is free, but you need to be signed up by tonight.

I looked in my inbox and couldn't find anything, could you try sending another email to [email protected]?

I used the contact form on the website. I’ll email at the address above next time. I did just send a follow up email about the thianum flasks. Let me know if you don’t receive that.

Wish I would have known the Paph portion of the symposium was still happening because would have attended. I really enjoyed last year’s slipper and vanda presentations.

Went to Orchids in Bloom yesterday. Pam wasn't in because of the event the days before. I picked up a Paph concolor, a Yellow Phal, and a Chiloschista.
