​The Evolution conference is the joint annual meeting of the American Society of Naturalists, the Society for the Study of Evolution, and the Society of Systematic Biologists. The meeting is one of the premiere opportunities for sharing research on evolutionary biology each year.

Evolution 2022 will be our first hybrid meeting, with a 2-day virtual conference (June 21-22) followed by the standard in-person conference (June 24-28) at the Huntington Convention Center in downtown Cleveland, OH. You can register to attend virtually or in-person, with the latter also including access to all virtual components. 

Evolution 2022 will require all in-person attendees to be fully vaccinated and masked at the meeting. More information here.

Please join us in thanking Mitch Cruzan for his extensive service as organizer/co-organizer of SIX past Evolution meetings, and initial planning on several future meetings too. Mitch’s service begin with Portland 2010 and included the 2020 'Meeting that Never Happened' (but for which he nevertheless invested substantial effort). This also includes the past year in which Mitch took on the monumental task of leading the planning and execution of our first entirely virtual meeting, to great success. We greatly appreciate his time, effort, and dedication to creating a time and space for our community to meet, exchange ideas, and develop as professionals in the field. From all the leadership at the SSE, ASN, and SSB, thank you Mitch!
