On behalf of the Western Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, we invite you to join us at our Joint 2025 Summer Meeting and Conservation Business Managers Conference (CBMA) to be held at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo, Utah.
This first ever combination event combines WAFWA's public Summer Annual Meeting with the Conservation Business Managers' annual national event. This joint meeting will bring over 600 U.S. and Canadian fish and wildlife professionals together discuss shared biological, management, land use issues along with discussions on agency administrative efforts including accounting, licensing and more! The event will attract professional fish and wildlife biologists (including commissioners and directors from over 20 states and provinces), managers, administrators, and others in fish and wildlife related fields.
The 2025 CBMA Meeting is being held in conjunction with the WAFWA 2025 Summer Meeting! Your registration for the CBMA Meeting does enable you to attend open sessions offered at the WAFWA Summer Meeting as well.
