Subject: Two upcoming conferences on sorghum (none seen on other millets)
Dr. M. Hikmet Boyacioglu's "Cereal & Grain Sciences Events Calendar – July 2025" shows two upcoming conferences on sorghum:
https://www.kpmanalytics.com/plp/cereal-grain-sciences-events-calendar . I filled out some info for the second one, in 2026. I don't see on Dr. Boyacioglu's calendar or elsewhere, any mention of conferences on other millets.
“European Sorghum Congress”. 8–9 October 2025
Novotel Budapest City. Budapest, Hungary.

https://fefac.eu/newsroom/events/4th-european-sorghum-congress-in-2025/ (webpage on the conference on the site of FEFAC, a Sorghum ID partner; indicates that the deadline
for an earlybird registration date was 30 June 2025)
The conference (the 4th in a series) is sponsored by Sorghum ID (Sorghum – International Development, an association of sorghum stakeholders working to establish an "inter-branch organization for sorghum" in Europe. It was founded in 2017.
The conference did not figure prominently on the Sorghum ID website as far as I could see, and I did not see links to register for it.
