Regional congresses

ISHS organises four regional congresses: the All Africa Horticultural Congress, the Asian Horticultural Congress, the European Horticultural Congress and the Latin American and Caribbean Horticultural Congress

These are generally held every four years: two years before and two years after the International Horticultural Congress (IHC). While the focus of the IHC is global, these regional congresses generally discuss issues that are more current and appropriate to the regions in which they are conducted.
