Complete Congress experience: in-person participation fees

This in-person participation offers the complete Congress experience, from direct exchanges with top conservation experts to high-level live and in-person debates and sessions. IUCN Congresses are opportunities for professional growth, networking and driving impact. While maintaining health and safety protocols throughout the venue, in-person participation will help to broaden your network, get first-hand information and allow you to weigh in on the most pressing issues facing our planet.
