The Ontario Invasive Plant Council (OIPC) is excited to present the Ontario Invasive Plant Conference on Thursday January 18th, 2024 that will run alongside the Ontario Phragmites Working Group Annual Meeting on Thursday January 25th, 2024 These events will be occurring virtually using our industry leading virtual outreach and networking software, Remo!

The 2024 OIPC conference and OPWG meeting theme is Finding a Balance! Our conference will examine the importance of finding a balanced approach to invasive plant management by taking into account different perspectives, management approaches, and goals. This event will encourage people to broaden their perspectives and cooperate to find a balance towards healthy ecosystems and biodiversity in a changing climate. There will be opportunities to explore strategies, programs, and partnerships. This can lead to an integrated and balanced approach towards the management of invasive plants.

Each year, this unique two-day event brings together professionals and passionate citizens from across Ontario and beyond. This interactive event is both a learning opportunity and a great chance to network with others working in the field of invasive plant management. We are excited to support connections in this online venue and have made sure that you will have time to meet with your peers and our sponsors. This conference is an excellent opportunity for municipalities, government agencies, NGO’s, academics, students, and citizen scientists to learn, take part in discussions and to meet others who are knowledgeable and passionate about invasive plant management.
