Letter of Invitation from the International Branch President
Dear fellow entomologists,
I am pleased to announce that the 9th International Branch Virtual Symposium will be held on April 27–29, 2026. This event is entirely online, asynchronous, free to attend, and open to all entomologists (including non-members). A small registration fee is asked to present a virtual poster or a pre-recorded talk. The objective of this event is to allow entomologists from around the world to network, discover new research, and showcase their own work at low or no cost.
