Northeast Aquatic Biologists Conference

The upcoming NAB Conference offers two pre-conference meetings. The first of which, R Exchange, creates a space for the region’s R coding enthusiasts to share innovative methods and experience leveraging various R programs to streamline unique processes and problems.

The second pre-conference meeting, Streamgaging with the USGS and the states, enables state employees throughout the Northeast to connect with the USGS regarding the network of streamgages and opens up a larger conversation regarding the need for funding endangered streamgages.

The cost to attend these meetings is $20 which covers the cost of venue space; coffee, tea, and water; and audiovisual needs. Attendees are welcome to join either meeting whether or not they can attend the full conference.

This year’s agenda covers a variety of important topics including the impact of climate change on streams, cyanobacteria, long-term and continuous monitoring, PFAS, and macroinvertebrate indices.

There will be opportunities to network with your regional peers and colleagues. Our exhibitor and poster session will be hosted Wednesday evening and includes a cash bar and appetizers. On Thursday, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy complimentary ice skate and cross-country ski rentals, snowshoeing, sledding, and hiking trails. If preferred, participants are welcome to grab a board game and cozy up by the fireplace in the lounge.

Included in your NAB registration rate are breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Thursday as well as breakfast on Friday. Parking at Lake Morey Resort is offered free of charge.

Please note that offsite dining options are limited.

Registration is open until January 15, 2024.
