The 2024 Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference (UMISC) addresses both aquatic and terrestrial invasive species. This will be a hybrid conference with both in-person and online attendance options. The conference will be held in Duluth. Early Bird rates apply through September 27, 2024.

The goal of conference is to strengthen management of invasive species, especially prevention, control, and containment. There have been great strides in invasive species research, prevention, and management, but much work still must be done. The conference provides numerous opportunities to network with professionals, land managers, researchers, nonprofits, and others.

Many of us have attended in the past, especially since it is in our backyard. It’s a great vehicle for getting smarter and connecting with everybody who’s anybody in AIS in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
