International Oak Society Conferences are unique opportunities to talk, learn, and laugh with oak enthusiasts that hail from vastly different horizons: botanists, geneticists, ecologists, arborists, creators of oak collections, conservationists, nursery operators, taxonomists and students, all passionate about the genus Quercus. The 11th IOS Conference (2025) will be held at Hotel Victoria in Oaxaca. Mexico has the highest oak diversity of any country in the world, and the IOS is excited to be going back again after the memorable 6th IOS Conference held in Puebla in 2009. The 11th IOS Conference will feature presentations on a wide range of topics relating to oaks, as well as poster sessions and field trips. Our famed Pre- and Post-Conference Tours are scheduled to take place before and after the Conference:
Pre-Conference Tour (SOLD OUT)
- September 28–October 4: beginning in Morelia and ending in Oaxaca
Conference
- October 5–8
Post-Conference Tour
- October 9–14: beginning and ending in Oaxaca
The IOS will again offer a hybrid Conference, with the opportunity for participants to attend virtually.
