The OMQ Fall Research Symposium 2023 is scheduled for September 11th-12th, and will be held again this year at the Civic Winery and Wines in Eugene, Oregon. 

The event will feature talks from OMQ faculty and students as well as invited guest speakers. We have a busy program planned, with engaging talks, a Monday night banquet highlighting our student poster session, as well as recreation break options, including a downtown brewery stroll, butte hike, or a tasting tour with the Civic Winery staff.
