AIBS Annual Meetings

AIBS Annual Meetings provide focused discussion of timely subjects at the science-policy interface for an audience of professionals, educators, students, NGO staff, government scientists, members of Congress, and the media. Attendees hear distinguished plenary speakers and panelists present synthesizing lectures from the forefront of their fields, then join those speakers and other equally notable scholars in panel sessions and informal discussion groups. The meetings also include a contributed poster session, AIBS awards, and workshops.

The plenary lectures are recorded and put online after the meeting for free viewing worldwide in the AIBS Media Library. Articles derived from many of the presentations are later published in BioScience and ActionBioscience.org.

At each annual meeting, AIBS hosts a competition and awards for the best research posters presented by undergraduate and graduate students. For more information, please go to Student Poster Competition.

Notice from AIBS about registering international meetings...

Is your society or organization organizing an international meeting in the United States? That is, are you expecting any of the attendees at your U.S.-based meeting to be traveling from outside the U.S.? The National Academies are now registering international scientific meetings with the State Department. See the Public Policy section of this website to learn how to register your meeting to avoid visa problems.

PLAN AHEAD! Foreign meeting attendees need to apply for their visas no later than 3 months in advance. Meeting organizers are advised to send invitations to foreign attendees no later than 3 months before the scheduled meeting.
