SCB Groups Meetings

Region Congresses

SCB's Regions represent various geographic regions and disciplines around the globe. Regions may host congresses in even-numbered years, or in years that SCB is not hosting its International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB).

Region meetings strive to facilitate networking and training opportunities in conservation biology, advance conservation science and practice in their respective regions, and provide a forum for scientists and students to present the latest in conservation research and practice.

Working Group Congresses

SCB Working Groups focus on topical areas relevant to the mission and goals of SCB. Sometimes Working Groups submit proposals for symposia at ICCB, but they may also host their own congresses. Learn more about SCB Working Groups, the topics they cover, and how Working Groups are formed.
