Reminder: The deadline to submit and abstract is Thursday, March 5, 2026.

The 2026 CFO Convention will take place May 28-31 in Loveland, CO.

As part of this event, we invite researchers and citizen scientists to participate in our Science Session on Saturday, May 30. Share your research on Colorado birds, covering topics such as ongoing studies, advances in field identification, and bird conservation. We invite abstracts for brief (12 – 15 minute) talks on topics relevant to Colorado birds.

Submit your 200-250 word abstract, including a title, presenter’s name and  affiliation, names of coauthors (if any), and presenter’s email to grants@cobirds.org. 

All presenters must register for the convention, and student members receive a discounted rate.  Registration hasn’t opened yet, but information about registration will be sent out soon.

Travel awards are available to young birders seeking funding to offset attendance costs–student presenters are encouraged to apply! Go to https://cobirds.org/grants-scholarships/#travel-scholarships for instructions, and email travel award requests to grants@cobirds.org.

Please feel free to share this opportunity with potential presenters. Your continued enthusiasm and support are greatly appreciated.
