The Entomological Collections Network hosts a meeting every year. Our 2024 meeting will take place November 9-10, 2024, in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, in conjunction with the annual ESA meeting (https://www.entsoc.org/events/annual-meeting). The in-person meeting will take place at the Sheraton Downtown Phoenix, a short walk from the convention center. We also welcome virtual participation, for those that cannot join us in-person.
