The Entomological Collections Network hosts a meeting every year. Our next meeting will be held in-person (with a virtual option) in Portland, Oregon on November 8–9, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency, ahead of the Entomological Society of America meeting.
Join us for our annual meeting!
Our annual meeting takes a hybrid format (streamed via Zoom), to help members of our community participate wherever they are. We also offer discounted rates for students and travel bursaries.
We have a very exciting program for 2025, featuring a mix of In-person talks (12 minutes in length, plus three minutes for questions) and Lightning talks (pre-recorded, 3–5 minutes in length). This year, we have three contributed talk symposia and the following member symposia:
- The Promises (and Realities) of “AI” for the Insect Taxonomist
- Discover the Hidden Gems in Our Museums
- Seeing Clearly Now: Tips and Tricks for Specimen Imaging, from Legacy Systems to the Latest Gear
A full program will be available online shortly.
During the ECN 2025 meeting in Portland, we will be holding a silent auction so please consider bringing an item to donate!
We hope to see you there!
