Every grower knows that timing matters. Every seed planted in the ground must be sown at the right moment to help ensure a bountiful harvest. In that spirit, we are opening registration for the ISF World Seed Congress 2027 today, Monday, 5 October, more than seven months before the Congress takes place in Toronto, Canada.

This early opening is deliberate. Delegates who require a visa to enter Canada can register now and begin their visa application as early as possible. Processing times vary widely by country, so if you need a visa, we strongly encourage you to complete your registration so you can request an invitation letter and apply with plenty of time to spare.

“Cultivating Ventures”

In Toronto, the Congress will spotlight growing ideas, partnerships, and opportunities. #WorldSeed2027 will once again bring together global business leaders, breeders, policymakers, and investors for our sector's flagship annual gathering.

On the agenda:

• Invest in what's next: see the impact of novel breeding approaches and explore emerging technologies
• Build high-value partnerships across sectors, audiences, and along value chains
• Help shape the policy environment for inclusive seed systems worldwide
• Champion the sector and demonstrate how quality seed and innovation are key to sustainable agriculture and food security

The best ventures often start with a conversation. Join us in Toronto and be part of the ones shaping the future of seed!
