From beginners to seasoned veterans, Day of Insects has something for anyone interested in or involved with insects. On the day of the event, doors will open at 8 a.m., with presentations starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 4:20 p.m.
Payments can be made by credit card or check using the online registration or in-person at Reiman Gardens with cash or check.
This year DOI will be held in a hybrid fashion. There will be slots for people to sign up and attend in-person at Reiman Gardens. It will also be possible for people to attend completely remotely. A couple of presenters will be presenting remotely, while the rest will present live from Reiman Gardens. DOI will also just consist of the day-long symposium and will not have the workshop components or keynote events that are usually held the day before, we look forward to these elements back in the future.
