We are pleased to announce that the 4th International Conservation Translocation Conference (ICTC) will be held in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Edinburgh, Scotland, on the Monday 7th to Wednesday 9th September 2026.

The conference is being organised by NatureScot, the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, University of Edinburgh, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. It is being hosted by the University of Edinburgh. 

The venue will be the John McIntyre Conference Centre, University of Edinburgh, which can hold up to 300 delegates. 

Accommodation will be available on site, close to the conference centre.

This event follows the successful 3rd International Conservation Translocation Conference held in Perth, Australia, in 2023. This 4th conference provides another opportunity for us to share the latest developments in conservation translocation management, research and innovation.
