Upcoming tech4wildlife gatherings

Hi All,

I'm looking for upcoming tech4wildlife conferences, workshops and gatherins during 2019 espeically in London, Glasgow and Bristol, but also interested beyond that in Europe/USA as well. Does anyone know of specific events (and their URL) or a central calendar where these might be listed? Thank you so much.

Hi Vance

We are organising a Conservation and Technology Conference to take place at the University of Nottingham on Friday 6 September 2019. https://www.bats.org.uk/our-work/conferences-symposia/conservation-and-technology-conference

This one day conference will explore conservation and technology for all wildlife (not just bats!)
It aims to:
- bring together wildlife conservationists, ecological consultants, researchers and technology experts to network and share knowledge/products/techniques.
- showcase new technologies, new applications of existing technologies and new developments in best practice
The programme will be talks-based and feature a mix of talk lengths, including some lightning talks to showcase new technologies, longer talks for projects/technologies where there are more results to discuss and a key note talk – speaker to be confirmed soon.
The Programme Selection Team would like to invite the submission of abstracts, particularly for projects using new technologies to support wildlife conservation or projects using existing technologies in new ways for conservation. We are keen to develop a diverse programme, featuring speakers working with a range of wildlife and technologies.
Abstracts should be submitted as a Word or pdf document and emailed to me: [email protected] by 15 March 2019 with the title Conservation and Technology Conference Abstract Submission.
There will also be posters on display at the Conservation and Technology Conference, please email mewith a short abstract or brief overview of the project/topic you would like to present a poster on: [email protected]
Please do share this with any friends or colleagues that you think might be interested or drop me an email with any questions, suggestions of speakers or projects you think might be interested or if you'd like to register your interest in the event. 

Best wishes

Naomi
