Collection tours are always a highlight of SPNHC conferences, as attendees get to see firsthand some of the specimens housed at the host institution and the ways in which they are curated.

Sessions

Tuesday, May 30–Thursday, June 1
Hilton Union Square

SPNHC 2023 will kick off with the annual plenary session on Tuesday, May 30, at the Hilton Union Square. Join us for this group event capped with a trio of prominent speakers discussing the past, present and future of collections, followed by lunch. Committees will meet that afternoon. All SPNHC members are invited to attend committee meetings and encouraged to get involved by joining committees of their choice.

Symposia, talks, and poster presentations begin Wednesday, May 31, and continue through Thursday, June 1. Join your colleagues to hear about their latest discoveries, innovations, and workarounds, explore exciting projects, and learn from their sometimes hilarious (in hindsight) mistakes.

SPNHC 2023 will be a hybrid conference with all events and sessions held live and many of them simultaneously live streamed. Talks and posters will also be recorded for our colleagues in other time zones, those with scheduling conflicts, and live attendees who sat in on a concurrent session.
