The Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference (UMISC) is a biennial conference. In 2020, UMISC will celebrate 12 years of connecting the invasive species management, research, and policy community. Conference host organizations and organizing committees were pleased to join with the North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA) in 2018 celebrating its 25th year, to co-host the largest invasive species conference in North America at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, MN - October 15-18, 2018.

The goal of UMISC is to strengthen management of invasive species, especially prevention, control, and containment. Invasive species research, prevention, and management has seen great strides but much work still must be done. The conference provides numerous opportunities to network with professionals, land managers, researchers, nonprofits, and others. 

Conference Hosts are the Invasive Plants Association of Wisconsin, Midwest Invasive Plant Network, Minnesota Invasive Species Advisory Council, and the North American Invasive Species Management Association.


UMISC is open to any member of the general public. Attendees typically include:
• researchers
• land and water resource managers
• natural resource professionals
• academics
• nursery and landscaping professionals
• agricultural professionals
• forestry professionals
• restoration consultants


• environmental specialists
• lake association members
• landowners
• governmental agency staff
