2027 Annual Meeting of the Western Section of The Wildlife Society

The 2027 Annual Meeting of the Western Section of The Wildlife Society will focus on the theme "Interwoven Paths: Navigating Migratory Routes and Rediscovering Our Own." This conference aims to explore migration as both a biological phenomenon and a personal metaphor, encompassing movement, adaptation, resilience, and the search for belonging. Attendees will delve into wildlife biology, conservation, ecology, and field research, sharing professional expertise and fostering connections. The event will feature over 250 scientific presentations in oral and poster sessions, two inspiring general sessions including a keynote and a capstone, various networking events with lite bites, an exhibit hall representing the wildlife industry, career workshops, student-professional mentoring, and field trips. It provides an opportunity for professionals, managers, students, and academics to learn, grow, and energize through dynamic speakers and invaluable networking opportunities, all set in Sacramento, California, during the peak migration season of the Pacific Flyway.
