Save the Date!
Each year the Monarch Joint Venture (MJV) and the Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working Group (ROWHWG), along with a few close partner organizations, host an annual partner meeting where we invite our national networks of monarch and pollinator colleagues to an in-person gathering of experts, advocates, and stakeholders dedicated to the conservation of monarch butterflies and other pollinators.
We are thrilled to announce that in 2025, we are broadening the scope of this meeting to incorporate monarch conservation partners from across North America! Please join the MJV and the ROWHWG at the 2025 North American Monarch Summit!
When: June 24 - 26, 2025
Where: McNamara Alumni Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Who: MJV and ROWHWG partners, and professionals from across North America engaged in monarch conservation efforts.
New in 2025: Also save the date for a Public Outreach Session and reception in the evening of Monday, June 23, 2025. This evening event will be open to the public but we would love Summit attendees to join us as well!
Additionally, breakout space is available to rent at McNamara Alumni Center ahead of the Summit. Reach out to us for more information.
Call for Abstracts
The call for abstracts is now open! To be given first consideration on the agenda, please submit proposals by November 15th. Submissions received after this date will be reviewed on a rolling basis, though priority may be limited. Please note that no more than two presentations per organization will be selected, so we kindly ask participants to coordinate internally before submitting.
Please Note: English will be the main language of the Summit, however, we are working hard to make this event as language inclusive as possible. While not possible during all aspects of the Summit, the main sessions in Memorial Hall will have live translations available so attendees can choose to listen to English-language presentations in Spanish or French. If you’d like to submit a proposal to present a lightning talk, breakout session, or workshop but only feel comfortable presenting in Spanish or French, please reach out to christine@monarchjointventure.org to discuss what options for translation/interpretation may be available.
