The Society of Wetland Scientists will convene on June 16-19, 2026 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside in New Orleans, Louisiana to discuss this year’s topic: Bogs to Bayous: Wetland Science, Policy, and People.  We have a variety of industry lectures, workshops, and receptions with colleagues lined up this year!

We provide a safe in-person event for scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to share their knowledge and gather ideas for the future of wetlands in an ever-evolving political landscape while continuing to advance the current focus on climate science.

We highlight how science can inform design, how design can inform science, and how to relay this information to regulators and policymakers to continue to protect vulnerable wetlands and other aquatic resources in the West, across the US, and all around the world. Our unique conference is a wonderful forum for collaboration from all sides of the world of wetlands.

We have an amazing and diverse lineup of plenary speakers, symposia, and oral and poster presentations that will highlight the coordination between different wetland sectors and disciplines while providing opportunities to collaborate on related topics like:

  • Indigenous or tribal interests for restoring native ecosystems to build resilience
  • Restoring or managing ecosystems to meet subsistence or cultural objectives
  • Tackling climate change
  • Water resource management
  • Soil carbon sequestration
  • Current approaches used for wetland education and outreach
  • and more!

A variety of networking events will be hosted throughout the week!
