Get Involved

Our organising committee for 2027 is now full, but we’d still love your help! We’re welcoming expressions of interest from volunteers to assist with on-the-day tasks during the conference in February 2027.

It’s a great opportunity to meet fellow biodiversity enthusiasts, gain experience and help bring VicBioCon to life.
