Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Annual Meeting & Conference 2026

It is held at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland, in Cleveland, Ohio.

The listed audiences include researchers, students, and preparators.

It is most useful for academic researchers, students and fossil preparators in vertebrate paleontology, since the society's own meeting draws that community and the sponsor list includes Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, Research Casting International, North Star Imaging and the SVP Preparators' Committee. Student and postdoctoral attendees get a dedicated committee presence, while people from outside the field, or those seeking an industry-focused show, would find the content specialised and the sponsors mostly small studios and publishers.

Attendees at scholarly paleontology meetings usually dress casually to business casual, with jeans, field-style shirts and fossil-themed accessories common; a sweater or jacket suits Cleveland in November.
