Summary
Organizers announced that the International Society for River Science (ISRS) will hold its biennial symposium at UC Davis in October.

Organizers announced that the International Society for River Science (ISRS) will hold its biennial symposium at UC Davis in October, providing an opportunity for river scientists, managers and practitioners to share research, methods and management experiences.
What was announced and why it matters Sarah Yarnell (conference co-host) told the California Environmental Flows Work Group that ISRS is a smaller, international society focused on river research and practice (the society manages the journal River Research and Applications). The meeting typically attracts a global community — Europeans, Australians, New Zealanders, North and South American researchers and others — and organizers said the symposium is an opportunity for California practitioners to engage with that international community on topics such as environmental flows, restoration, river management and monitoring.
Timing, registration and participation Special-session proposals are being solicited immediately; abstracts will open at the end of the month or in early March and remain open for about six weeks (roughly through mid‑April). Registration (including early-bird pricing) will open after abstract selection; organizers estimated early-bird full-week registration at roughly $700–$750, with higher rates after the early-bird period. The weeklong program will include plenaries, parallel technical sessions, a poster session, local field trips (some included in registration; some at extra cost), and a conference banquet.
Organizers invited proposals for special sessions, offers to help host field trips and sponsorships; they said there is no fee to submit an abstract and that day-only registration will be available. Links and details were posted in the meeting chat, and organizers asked interested parties to contact the conference planning team if they wanted to sponsor sessions or contribute field-trip options.
Ending Organizers encouraged work-group members to submit abstracts, propose special sessions and consider field-trip or sponsorship support; they said detailed timelines and registration links are posted in the meeting chat.
