Society for Freshwater Science Pacific Northwest Chapter 2025 Annual Meeting
The SFS PNW Chapter annual meeting will be held November 3-4, 2025, in Boise, Idaho.
This meeting will be an in-person and hybrid format. If interested, you are also invited to submit an abstract for an individual presentation. Presentations should inform our understanding and management of freshwater aquatic ecosystems including rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands in the Pacific Northwest. We are currently planning to facilitate sessions on “Big Data,” intermittent streams, and eDNA, but presentations on any other aspect of freshwater ecosystems are welcome. On Monday night we will hold a social at the Barbarian Brewery that will include a poster session. In addition, on Tuesday November 4th there will be a macroinvertebrate identification workshop provided by our good friends at EcoAnalysts.
Conference registration is $50 for non-students and $25 for students. Please register by October 15th. We encourage everyone to pay via card through Eventbrite, however, if you need to pay via check, please contact Oliver Miler (omiler@nwifc.org).
