Run in partnership by Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (ARC) and Amphibian and Reptile Groups of the UK (ARG-UK) the Herpetofauna Workers' Meeting is the foremost gathering for those involved in UK amphibian and reptile conservation.

This years 'in person' conference will take place on the 3 & 4 February 2024 at Solent Hotel & Spa, near Fareham in Hampshire. We have a broad range of speakers from across the UK and abroad covering a variety of herpetofauna conservation topics, and guest star appearances thrown in! The Gala Dinner is back by popular demand on Saturday night featuring our ‘Have I Got New(t)s for You!’ quiz and as always there will be plenty of opportunities to network.

The meeting attracts a diverse audience representing: conservation organisations, ecological consultants, statutory bodies, land managers, academic institutions and students, and enthusiastic volunteers. Ticket prices are kept as low as possible and as always we offer a concessionary rate for ARG members, ARC members and students.
