The Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference values diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. We recognize that encouraging and facilitating participation of diverse and historically underrepresented groups integrates a variety of perspectives into our conference and creates a learning and networking environment that benefits us all. We are committed to inclusive conferences where the diversity of presenters, supporters, and attendees are representative of the diverse peoples of the Upper Midwest.
