27th Trumpeter Swan Society Conference July 7-9, 2026 in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Announcement and Call for Abstracts
Mark your calendars! The 27th Swan Conference of The Trumpeter Swan Society will be held in Baraboo, Wisconsin (near Wisconsin Dells!). It will be a summer conference – so you will see young swan families on the planned field trip.
The Conference will take place at HoChunk Gaming/Wisconsin Dells in Baraboo.
The Baraboo/Wisconsin Dells area is a wonderful place to explore and enjoy on your own and with your family. (Add on some vacation days for family fun!)
A fantastic all day field trip is planned for Wednesday, July 8. It will be led by the renowned George Archibald, founder of the International Crane Foundation (ICF) who “knows where every nesting swan is near Baraboo.” Following a tour of ICF and a chance to see the world’s crane species, you’ll explore the area to view young swan families in their summer wetland habitat and much more! A fun and fascinating field trip is in store!
Tuesday, July 7 and Thursday, July 9 are presentation days. There will be swan updates from across North America including the recently completed Interior Population Swan Management Plan for trumpeter swans east of the Rockies.
Thursday evening, July 9, is a delicious banquet and auction. Proceeds support swan programs.
