Greetings Everyone!
The 2025 Pecos Conference is on track to be held about a dozen miles north of Blanding, Utah, in a comfortable, Ponderosa Pine-shaded area between August 7-10th, 2025. The permit for this location has been submitted and we are preparing to open registration in early May.
We are planning on generally holding the fee structure at the same level as last year. We will begin accepting paper and poster abstracts when registration opens.
Thanks and we hope to see you all this August in beautiful San Juan County, Utah!
