This year we are happy as clams to gather in person (where did this phrase come from? Attend and you will find out). The agenda is jam-packed with sessions on hot topics like 6PPDQ, plastics, PFAS, and updated research and monitoring on contaminant exposure and ecotoxicology. On-Demand short courses, and contextual discussions of Environmental Justice and innovative business responses round out the event.

Every year, PNW SETAC holds a three-day conference in spring or early summer. Locations vary throughout the region, but are usually in Washington or Oregon, and occasionally in Idaho or British Columbia, Canada. Conferences typically include a special session, workshop, and/or short course on the first day, followed by a full day of sessions on the second day and a half-day of sessions on the third. We also have fun social events and a PNW SETAC General Membership meeting. Proposals for Sessions and Short Courses are accepted all year-round. Just Contact Us!
On average we have more than 100 attendees each year, comprised of professionals who bracket a range of years to decades working in their fields, as well as students who are just preparing to enter their career fields. As such, the PNW SETAC Board of Directors strives diligently each year to provide the best venue possible to discuss current and emerging issues in environmental toxicology and chemistry in the Pacific Northwest. We hope you consider joining us!
