The American Fisheries Society’s Annual Meeting brings together a global community of fisheries professionals to share knowledge, foster innovation, and advance the science and management of aquatic resources. AFS Annual Meetings serve as a premier forum for networking, learning, and collaboration, ensuring the future of sustainable fisheries and ecosystems.
For the first time since 1991, the American Fisheries Society Annual Meeting returns to San Antonio, Texas. Home to the Alamo, Riverwalk, SeaWorld, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas, not to mention award-winning cuisine and 300 years of cultural history, there’s so much to explore in this diverse and vibrant city that boasts 250 days of sunshine per year.
Our main venue will be the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter, with the Black Bass Symposium across the street at the San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk. Attendee registration gives access to both events.
Bringing people together that care about the future of Black Bass.
