The conference will be held at the Port Douglas Community Hall in the stunning Queensland Wet Tropics from 24-28 August 2026.

With the overall theme ‘Plant Conservation: Culture, Collaboration and Change’ APCC15 will explore these three spheres of native plant recovery through rainforest restoration partnerships, collaborations with Traditional Owner groups, impacts of climate change induced natural disasters, management of threatened species and communities, and biosecurity threats such as Myrtle Rust.

The conference will bring together from across the continent, people researching, working, or volunteering in plant conservation to address the challenges facing Australasia’s spectacular and diverse plant life, through information exchange and sharing best practice approaches. There will also be numerous workshops, social events and field trip options, which you can find more by clicking here to visit the conference webpage.

The early bird discount ends 29 May.

Abstract submission is also open! The themes are: Sustaining Diversity, Restoring Balance, Collaborations and Culture and Biosecurity, Invasive Threats and Post-invasion Challenges

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
