We are excited to announce the 3rd Southern eDNA Society Conference, taking place at the QT Canberra, Canberra, Australia from 16–19 February 2027.
Under the theme Scaling eDNA: From Method to Mainstream, the conference will explore how environmental DNA is moving from foundational discovery into real-world biodiversity monitoring, biosecurity, and environmental decision-making. Bringing together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, industry partners, and end-users, SeDNAS 2027 will focus on the research, innovation, and quality frameworks needed to scale eDNA into reliable operational practice.
The 2027 conference will be delivered as an in-person international conference, welcoming participants from across Australia, New Zealand, and the global eDNA community.
Hosted in Australia’s Bush Capital and based in the heart of the city, the meeting will provide a dynamic program designed to support both innovation and implementation across the eDNA community.
Highlights Include:
- Cutting-edge research and applied eDNA methods
- Emerging standards and quality frameworks for operational use
- Keynote talks, workshops, posters, and cross-sector networking
- Opportunities to engage with industry, government, and decision-makers
We look forward to welcoming you to Canberra.
Warm Regards,
Erin Hahn & Dianne Gleeson
