World Ecoacoustics 2026, Cairns

Cairns Convention Centre, Cairns, QLD · 17 August 2026 - 20 August 2026

We plan to be at the World Ecoacoustics Congress 2026 in Cairns, hosted in partnership with James Cook University.

The World Ecoacoustics Congress brings international researchers, engineers, and practitioners together on advances in ecoacoustics and environmental monitoring. The 2026 congress is in Cairns, between the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics.

We will be there to follow where large-scale acoustic monitoring is heading and to talk with the people building it.
