Collaborate, learn, and network with your colleagues both in person and online. Attend our annual meeting, the largest conference in North America for conservation professionals.

Speaker Stipends

Our groups and networks offer a small number of stipends to help defray costs for their speakers at the meeting. Recipients can use stipends for transportation, lodging, meals, and registration.

In 2024, we are using the same application form for all stipend and grant applicants. If you qualify for Stout or Kress international funding, please fill out the relevant sections in the application. If you only want to be considered for speaker stipends funded by specialty groups, then you may ignore the other questions.

Submission Deadline: December 15
