Save the Date: 2024 National Meeting
The Center for Plant Conservation is thrilled to host the 2024 National Meeting May 2-3, 2024 . Sessions will take place at both the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, in collaboration with the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance—a CPC Participating Institution and the host institution for CPC’s National Office headquarters.
For 40 years, CPC and its ever-growing network of Conservation Partners have been at the forefront of botanical breakthroughs—pioneering scientific research and techniques, utilizing cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, and innovating solutions and best practices—to advance our shared mission to save rare and endangered plants from extinction. This year’s meeting theme, Conservation Innovation: Harnessing Technology to Advance Rare Plant Conservation, celebrates CPC’s milestone 40th anniversary and our network’s innovative spirit that drives our collective conservation efforts and success stories.
Presentation sessions will include updates from the CPC National Office on network-wide initiatives, plus lightning talks from CPC network partners on plant conservation research, accomplishments and challenges, and future initiatives. We welcome both Institutional and Individual Conservation Partners to submit presentation abstracts centered on this year’s theme of Conservation Innovation: Harnessing Technology to Advance Rare Plant Conservation. We encourage prospective presenters to submit abstract proposals that highlight the use of new or evolving technologies and methodologies in your rare plant conservation projects and research; ways your institution has developed and innovated conservation initiatives both over time and looking to the future; or topics that otherwise adhere to the conference theme.
 Abstract proposals can be submitted at the time of registration, which will launch in early 2024.
