You’re invited to join us for the American Ornithological Society (AOS) 2026 meeting. This will be the 144th annual meeting of AOS.

Date: 3–7 August 2026
Location: Amherst, Massachusetts
Venue: University of Massachusetts Amherst

Following our long legacy of vibrant annual meetings, the 2026 meeting will once again offer a great opportunity for sharing and discussing scientific research in all areas involving birds.

We envision a broad discussion of research that spans the breadth of modern ornithology through plenaries, symposia, workshops, roundtable discussions, contributed papers, and posters. In addition to these exciting presentations, we will have a variety of exhibitors from the commercial, non-profit, and government sectors. We will also host a series of daily, fun networking events for you to make new connections and reconnect with colleagues!
