This year, the theme, Securing Our Future Together, recognises the importance of understanding how arthropod biodiversity, functions, and behaviours impact our lives daily.

This meeting marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Australian Entomological Society, the 56th Annual Conference of the Australian Entomological Society and the 73rd Entomological Society of New Zealand Conference. This conference will continue the long-held tradition of scientific knowledge sharing for conserving and improving important social, cultural, ecological, and industrial processes driven by arthropods. As we face increasing environmental and social challenges, understanding, managing and protecting these tiny yet powerful creatures is more important than ever. Get ready to dive into the fascinating world of entomology and join the conference in Canberra to shape a future where we all continue to thrive!
