2023 Hawaii Conservation Conference June 27-29/23

We are excited to announce that the 2023 Hawaii Conservation Conference will be held in person at the Hawaii Convention Center from June 27th-June 29th 2023 hosted by the Hawaii Conservation Alliance and Foundation!

This conference will share cutting-edge science research from the field as well as innovative tools and approaches for addressing critical island conservation issues with a special focus on research and management presentations that affect the natural resources upon which Hawaii depends.

Next year marks the 30th anniversary of the Hawaii Conservation Conference and our upcoming conference theme is:

Aia i hiʻikua, i hiʻialo - Reflecting on our Past; Dreaming on our Future

This ʻōlelo noʻeau speaks of a return into the presence of loved ones after being separated, as well as the idea of the devotion we carry to the living resources of our islands. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary of the Hawaii Conservation Conference, we return to an in-person gathering to reflect on our past and dream of our future together.

Call for Abstracts, Format Descriptions, and Evaluation Guidelines

We have updated our website to include our call for abstracts, format descriptions, and evaluation guidelines which include separate criteria for conservation research and management presentations. We welcome presentations on work done directly for Hawaiian biocultural resources and also recognize that Hawaii depends, in part, on global knowledge that can be applied locally. The Conference is intended to support and strengthen exchange and relationships between managers and researchers working collaboratively for improved conservation outcomes.

Work Exchange Program (WEP)

The Hawaii Conservation Conference's success stems from the work of willing and dedicated individuals who contribute to this program. The assistance of the Work Exchange Program (WEP) participants make it possible to have the various engaging exhibits, events, and speakers of the conference.

The Conference's Work Exchange Program allows participants to meet, interact with, and learn from conservation veterans, emerging leaders, resource managers, field staff, and others in the conservation community. The research, knowledge, and experiences they share provide an invaluable opportunity to anyone interested in starting or furthering a career in conservation. Learn More
