The ATBC hosts meetings that aim to catalyze the exchange of knowledge and collaboration among scientists, decision makers, educators, and social actors working in the Tropical regions of the World. Our annual meetings are held at different locations each year. At those conferences, dozens of symposia, oral and poster presentations, panel discussions and debates provide diverse perspectives on critical issues in tropical biology and conservation. Workshops, courses, mentoring circles, thematic group gatherings, mentoring circles, and a variety of field trips, among others, are also organized. Our meetings are invigorated by fruitful interactions with colleagues, old friends, and new collaborators, mentees and mentors. Around 50% of the delegates are usually undergraduate and graduate students, showing off the great "regenerative potential" of ATBC.
The ATBC Conferences Committee is constantly searching for new meeting locations. This Committee also provides guidance to annual meeting organizers.
