Please save the date for the 2028 One Conservancy Science Gathering, which will be held May 8-12, 2028 in Šibenik, Croatia. Nestled on Croatia’s Adriatic coast, Šibenik combines a historic waterfront city, nearby islands and easy access to Krka National Park, offering a unique setting for learning, collaboration and connection.

Hosted in partnership with The Nature Conservancy’s Europe Region, the Gathering will bring together ~500 scientists and conservation practitioners from dozens of disciplines and countries, plus executive leadership from TNC, TNC Global Board members, and scientific leadership from peer and partner organizations.

Building on the momentum of the 2024 convening in Mexico City, the 2028 Gathering will create new opportunities to share applied science, strengthen partnerships across regions and disciplines, and explore how science continues to inform solutions for people and nature.

Additional details, registration information and program highlights will be shared as planning progresses. For now, we hope this early notice helps teams plan ahead, including arranging for team meetings or collaborations before or after the Gathering, where useful.
