PLay Ball!       

The historic Camden Yards are immediately adjacent to our hotel.

Taking advantage of this proximity, the SON2026 Local Arrangements Committee has organized an optional outing for you to enjoy this opportunity to take in a professional league baseball game! Registration is limited and must be completed by May 15th. 

This year we are holding the Industry Social and the Field Trip congruently. So you can register as an Industry Social attendee or as a Field Trip attendee. Both options are described below:

1. The Industry Social has historically been a social event specifically targeted to connecting young nematologists with our colleagues in Industry. Therefore, the Industry Social is limited to Industry Social sponsors, students and post-docs and will be held in a section separate from field trip attendees to promote Industry networking and career connections. Food will be provided by Industry Social sponsors for the Social attendees.
2. The Field Trip will be a chance to socialize and enjoy one of Americas favorite pastimes at the historic Camden Yards. A block of seats has been reserved at a group rate for us to sit together; however, attendees must register and pay for their ticket. Food and beverage are not provided. Feel free to bring your family and friends.
