Cedar Rapids Doubletree by HiltonQuestions people ask
4 answeredThe symposium starts October 25, 2026.
It takes place at Cedar Rapids Doubletree by Hilton in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
It is most useful for HAB scientists, water managers and policy staff, since the four-day program combines plenary sessions, breakouts and posters on bloom dynamics, monitoring, mitigation, forecasting and modeling. Speakers such as Clarissa Anderson and Dail Laughinghouse and UF/IFAS as organizer signal a research-and-extension slant, so those seeking commercial product showcases or general audiences unfamiliar with algal science would get less.
Scientific and environmental management meetings usually call for casual to business casual dress, such as khakis, collared shirts or fleece layers. Cedar Rapids in late October is cool, so a warm layer is practical.
