Swimming Upstream: Tackling Environmental Challenges through Partnership, Innovation, & Science

NALMS, along with our local partners and dedicated conference committee, are excited to host the 46th International Symposium in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada! We are thrilled to return to Canada (after ten years!) with a great program, local support, and opportunities to explore this beautiful region.

Why Kelowna? Kelowna appears to have abundant water; but this city is in the most water-scarce region of Canada. The water resources in this semi-arid setting are under increasing pressure, compounded by watershed-scale disturbance and a warming climate. Warmer, drier conditions in the growing season means agricultural needs, urban use, and environmental flow needs frequently exceed the available water resources.

Early bird registration rate are available through Friday, September 11th. After this date, rates will rise to the "regular registration" level and be open through Friday, October 23rd. The registration fee schedule and cancellation/refund policy is posted on the conference website.

Did you know? If you add a 2027 NALMS membership to your registration, we’ll give you 15% off your dues! Membership add-ons are available within the form.

Are you an exhibitor? Registration will be open soon via a separate form. Thank you!

- No refunds will be given except in the event of extenuating circumstances, which will be considered on a case-by-case basis by NALMS. Requests for cancellation must be submitted in writing by email to nalms2026@nalms.org.
If the registered attendee cannot attend, someone else may attend in their place with no additional fee.
In the event the symposium is moved to a completely online format, in-person registrations will be applied to the online registration fee and refunds will be issued for the difference.
