Help Support our Work
The Institute for Applied Ecology invites you to support the 2026 National Native Seed Virtual Conference as a sponsor, exhibitor, or both! Sponsors are recognized throughout the conference and in advertising materials before and after the event. The sooner you sign up, the greater the visibility!
About the conference: The National Native Seed Conference is focused entirely on the science, policy, and practice of producing and effectively using native seed to restore ecosystems and habitats. Past meetings have been held in 2010, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2023, 2024, and 2025 in Utah, New Mexico, Washington DC, and Arizona. We expect 500-700 attendees in 2026; attendees are a mix of agency (research and management), industry (seed companies), university, and NGO (conservation, restoration, etc.) professionals.
Help make this valuable event possible through a financial contribution that demonstrates leadership and your organization’s commitment to this critical conservation issue!
