About the Botany Conference:

“This annual meeting of six leading professional botanical societies (the American Bryological and Lichenological Society, the American Fern Society, the American Society of Plant Taxonomists, the International Society of Plant Taxonomy, the Society for Herbarium Curators, and the Botanical Society of America) brings together a diverse mix of researchers, professors, educators, government employees and motivated graduate and undergraduate students, all focused on what’s new in the botanical sciences.

For Botany 2026 we return to one of our highest rated locations, Tucson, Arizona. We anticipate over 1000 participants from around the world to present over 700 scientific contributions including special symposia, papers, posters, and special lectures. A full slate of field trips and scientific and educational workshops will round out the program.”
