The 25th International Congress of Entomology will be meeting this month from the 25th to the 30th in Orlando, Florida. ICE only convenes once every four years and is held in different countries around the globe.

This time, it is expected to be the largest meeting of entomologists in history. Representatives from around the world will come together at the event, which has a theme of "entomology without borders," in order to discuss the latest developments in the field. There will be 238 different symposia, a coinciding insect expo, entomological tours of the surrounding area, student competitions, and numerous plenary speakers, including two Nobel laureates: Dr. Peter Agre and Dr. Jules A. Hoffmann.

A wide range of topics will be discussed, such as arboviruses, including the Zika virus, integrated pest management, citrus greening disease, and more. Over 6,000 attendees are expected.
