Where: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Headquarters, Washington D.C.

Dates: Monday, May 12th – Thursday, May 15, 2025

Registration Cost: $400

FICMNEW  and WSSA (Weed Science Society of America) are excited to invite you to the 2025 North American Invasive Species Forum (NAISF) at the Environmental Protection Agency headquarters in Washington D.C., the vibrant capital of the United States, renowned for its rich history and iconic landmarks like the White House and Lincoln Memorial, and world class museums like the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum of the American Indian.

The goal of the 2025 NAISF is to bring together leaders and organizations from various jurisdictions across North America with a common interest of sharing information about invasive species management and regulatory issues and concerns regarding the introduction and dispersal of invasive species across jurisdictional boundaries in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

The 2025 forum will explore innovative and effective approaches for engagement in international frameworks including cross-border biosecurity, e-commerce of invasive species, risk management, early detection and rapid response, citizen and community science successes, and the nexus of invasive species, wildfire, and climate change from the viewpoint of an international audience and indigenous and tribal groups. The forum will culminate in a workshop to build a strategic framework for future forums.
