The 5th African Bioacoustics Community conference is being hosted outside of South Africa for the first time ever, offering the exciting opportunity to join us in Kenya! The conference is being hosted as a hybrid event at Sawela Lodges, Lake Naivasha, Kenya from the 22nd to the 27th of November 2026. As in previous years, we anticipate that the conference will be of interest to bioacoustics researchers, students, and people working / interested in bioacoustics or relevant disciplines. Themes include behaviour and biology, acoustic monitoring and conservation, physiology and evolution, applied and ecoacoustics, advanced technology and methodology, citizen science, and science communication.
