We're delighted to share exciting news: SPNHC has secured the location for our 2027 Annual Meeting and will be partnering with four international networks to produce one of the largest ecological data conferences ever held in North America.
Living Data 2027 will take place June 9–12, 2027, at the Palais de Congrès in Montréal, Canada. SPNHC is joining forces with TDWG, GEO BON, iBOL, and QCBS to create a once-in-a-generation gathering for the global biodiversity and ecological data communities.
Montréal is an ideal host city for this moment. It offers convenient travel access for U.S. attendees while providing an international setting where participants from around the world feel welcome and safe.
SPNHC has already begun discussions with our partners to ensure that our society’s programming reflects the full breadth of our membership and showcases the strength of our collections, research, and community.
