What is the Evolution Conference?
​

Evolution 2020 is the joint conference of the American Society of Naturalists, the Society for the Study of Evolution, and the Society of Systematic Biologists that will be held in Cleveland, OH from June 19-23.

The meeting will be the premier opportunity for sharing research on evolutionary biology in 2020. Cleveland is an incredible destination with a terrific convention center, great restaurants, and several famous entertainment districts. We anticipate 1800-2000 attendees, 1,000+ talks, and 400+ posters.

Social activities will include an opening reception and SSE Public outreach lecture, mixers during each of three evening poster sessions, and a Super Social at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With the exception of only a small additional charge for the Super Social, all of this is included with your registration. 

Thank you to our sponsors!
