2026 Local Phenology Leader Virtual Conference

One of the top requests from our Local Phenology Leaders is more chances to interact with other Leaders about their Programs. To meet this need, we're excited to host the first ever multi-day Local Phenology Leader Virtual Conference.

The LPL Virtual Conference is an opportunity to...

• Connect with fellow LPLs in Regional and Institutional Networking Sessions
• Learn from the successes of other Programs at the LPP Showcases
• Draw inspiration from others at the Resource Share
• Get updates from the USA-NPN team about the new Nature's Notebook mobile app
• Hear from experts at the Researcher and Educator Panels
• Discuss important topics with fellow LPLs in themed Discussion Sessions

There are two opportunities for you to share at the Conference:

• Local Phenology Program Showcase - Share a short, 5-10 minute presentation about your Program responding to prompts such as your goals, what species you are tracking, who collects data at your organization, strengths, challenges, etc.
• Resource Share- Share a resource that you developed or that you use in your Program, such as a training handbook, recruitment video, social activity, etc. 

Registration is open until the Conference begins, but please register by December 8th if you are interested in participating in an LPP Showcase or Resource Share. By registering, you are signing up to receive information on how to access the virtual sessions and reminders as the Conference gets closer.
