Call for 2027 Symposia and Continuing
Education Workshops

The Washington Chapter of The Wildlife Society is excited to open up symposia and workshop suggestions for our 2027 annual conference taking place March 23-25, 2027 in Spokane, WA at the Spokane Convention Center.

The theme for this meeting is "Resilience in Small Populations" and we are now seeking symposia and workshop suggestions that support this theme and other topics that are of interest to wildlife professionals in our region.

If you have an interesting symposium topic or continuing education workshop you would like to help organize, please complete this form and we will get back to you shortly.

This form is divided into two sections:

  • SECTION 1: Symposium Proposals

  • SECTION 2: Workshop Proposals

Please note that we are trialing a shorter program for the 2027 annual conference, and only two to four workshops can be accommodated (depending on workshop duration). 

DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL IS NOVEMBER 15, 2026
