Registration for APPS 2025
See what registration for APPS 2025 included as published before the conference, with ticket types, inclusions, dates and venue details in Sydney.

You arrived looking for registration details and you find a working timetable instead. That change of focus is useful because it shows how APPS 2025 was laid out across days and how you could follow it as an attendee. The ASN Events page does not publish ticket types, inclusions, key dates, or venue information.
The details cited in this entry were checked on check the daily schedule.
What remains is practical. You get four-day tabs, search tools for talks and authors, a compact glance view, a close control for that view, a prompt for what is on now, and a Currinda login that unlocks personal features. If you study plant diseases, work with collections, or follow biosecurity, those tools shape how you would have moved through the meeting.
What does the schedule actually cover?
The page is titled "Schedule" and it belongs to APPS 2025 on ASN Events. It does not read as a program book or a registration form. It reads as an interface for finding when things happen and who presents them. You are meant to select, search, and track rather than read from top to bottom. That distinction helps you set expectations. You will not find fee tables or ticket rules here. You will find entry points that let you narrow a large meeting to the talks that fit your work in crops, native flora, diagnostics, or disease management.
How do you move across four days?
The timetable is organized around Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. You choose one day at a time and see what belongs to that day. For you as a reader after the event, that structure still matters. It tells you the meeting ran across four successive days and that content was grouped by day rather than in one long list. If you track myrtle rust in the field, curate specimens in a herbarium, or respond to a quarantine alert, a day view lets you imagine where your topic would sit and how much time you would need to cover related talks without losing the rest of your plan.
How do you find a talk without scrolling all day?
The page offers "Find" and "Find Presentations." Those controls let you search rather than scan. You type what you need, and the interface narrows the list to matching presentations. This is the normal way you handle a large pathology meeting where concurrent themes compete for your attention. You might follow foliar diseases one morning and soilborne problems the next, or you might stay with diagnostic methods across days. The search box supports that kind of selection. It keeps you from missing a relevant talk that sits outside the session you first opened.
How do you find who is presenting?
The page also offers "Find Presenting Authors." That tool turns the schedule around so you start from people rather than titles. You look for an author name you noted in an abstract, in a program overview, or in follow-up reading, then you see where that author appears. For students and early-career researchers, this is often the fastest route. You follow a method you want to learn, a pathogen you monitor, or a collection-based study you cite, and you trace it to the speaker. The author search makes that trace direct and keeps your notes tied to a person and a time slot.
What does Glance give you?
Glance is a compact view of the schedule. It strips the detail back so you can see shape and flow. You use it to answer simple questions. Which day looks dense? Where are the gaps you could use for notes, conversations, or a visit to posters? When you need detail again you leave the compact view. The page includes "Close Schedule" for that step, which returns you to the fuller display. That back-and-forth between overview and detail mirrors how you work in the field or lab. You check the broad pattern first, then you focus on the sample, the culture, or the record that needs close attention.
What does What is on now show you?
"What is on now" is a prompt for the live meeting. During the event it points you to sessions running at the current time. After the event it still tells you something about design. The organizers expected attendees to check the page on phones or laptops between sessions and to decide quickly where to go next. You can picture that use if you have worked a busy conference day. You step out of one room, check what starts now, and choose between a talk on surveillance and a talk on taxonomy. The prompt supports that choice without asking you to reload the whole timetable.
Why does the page ask for a Currinda login?
To access personal details, event notifications, favorite abstracts, recorded notes, and other features, the page asks you to provide Currinda login details. That sentence explains the boundary between public browsing and personal planning. Anyone can see days and search boxes, but only a logged-in user can save favorites, keep notes linked to abstracts, or receive event notifications. If you manage disease records, you know why that separation exists. Public lists stay open while personal annotations, contact details, and alerts stay tied to an account. You can check the daily schedule to see how those public controls look before login.
How do favorite abstracts and recorded notes help your work?
Favorite abstracts let you mark talks you want to revisit. Recorded notes let you keep observations next to those choices. For plant health work, that pairing is valuable. You might flag a presentation on leaf spots because symptoms match what you saw in a crop, then note the diagnostic characters mentioned, the host range discussed, or the questions you want to test back home. You might flag a collections talk because it changes how you label, store, or cite a specimen. The login keeps those marks together so your day plan becomes a small research file rather than a loose set of screenshots.
How should you read this page if you expected registration details?
Read it as a map of attendance, not as a shopfront. It will not tell you what a ticket included or when sales opened. It will tell you how time was divided, how talks could be found, and how personal tracking worked once you logged in. That is still relevant to costs and planning in a general way. If you know you need four days to cover pathology, collections, and biosecurity interests, you understand why accommodation and travel span Sunday to Wednesday. If you know you relied on favorites and notes, you understand why access and login matter. For related context on sessions and themes, the speaker themes notes on this site can help you place the schedule in a wider retrospective.
Pick one day, run a search for the symptom, pathogen, or method you follow now, mark the closest matches as favorites in your own notebook, and keep your questions beside each title so your next meeting or field visit starts from a clear list.
