The UAA and ROW Steering Committee are looking forward to bringing the event back to Canada in 2026 for another spectacular international event.

This series has been held every three to four years since the early ’70s and has consistently been one of the greatest environmental research-based conferences to attend and we are excited to be coming to Vancouver, British Columbia in May of 2026.
Our Steering Committee is working on creating an amazing local field tour, engaging plenary session, educational academia panel, research programs, and more so mark you calendars now as you will not want to miss this in person event.

Please update your calendars and watch for more details to come on our website, social media and emails! We will see you May 11-14, 2026. We look forward to partnering with our sponsors on another amazing event!
