We are excited to confirm that this year’s NBN Conference is taking place on Thursday 19 November at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.

The theme for this year’s event is “Nature as National Resilience: turning biodiversity data into action for people, place and a changing climate”.

Book here!

Why attend?

The annual NBN Conference brings together around 200 individuals and organisations from across wildlife recording, nature recovery, research, policy and responsible business.
It is a one-day national event for members and stakeholders across the National Biodiversity Network and beyond. The focus is practical, evidence led action, how biodiversity data is collected, shared and used to support better decisions and stronger outcomes for nature.

More information and the final programme will be announced soon, but delegates can expect Keynotes, panel session, practical examples, policy insight, data and digital innovation, NBN Awards, exhibition, and networking.
