2025 Entomological Society of America Annual Meeting

The Entomological Society of America (ESA) is the largest organization in the world serving the professional and scientific needs of entomologists and individuals in related disciplines. Founded in 1889, ESA has nearly 7,000 members affiliated with educational institutions, health agencies, private industry, and government. Members are researchers, teachers, extension service personnel, administrators, marketing representatives, research technicians, consultants, students, pest management professionals, and hobbyists.

The premier event of the Society is its Annual Meeting. Each year approximately 3,500 entomologists and other scientists gather to exchange scientific information. A program of symposia, conferences, submitted papers, and continuing education seminars provides attendees the opportunity to hear and present research results. The meeting also provides a chance to interact informally with peers and prospective employers.

Sr. Technician, Lindsay Hayter, will be delivering a NEON overview presentation as part of the "Appalachian Arthropods: Continuing the Legacy of Biodiversity Research in the Smokies and Beyond" symposium.
