[Nhcoll-l] You're Invited to TaxonWorks Together 2026 - (online, free) Registration is Open!

[Deborah Paul]

Greetings SPNHC Peeps,

Please join us for TaxonWorks Together 2026 
<https://together.taxonworks.org/> from May 19 - 21.
It’s online and free and Registration is Open 
<https://together.taxonworks.org/>!

Our topics will range from those involving TaxonWorks directly (how can 
we improve), to grand-challenges facing our collective communities (e.g. 
data quality, semantics and standards, sustaining communities, software 
engineering, agency, and of course AI) so that we can "Describe Life" 
and better understand and care for our natural resources, ourselves, our 
data, and our collections.

To see the complete Agenda and Register: https://together.taxonworks.org/

  * Our Community Drives the Evolution of TaxonWorks: hear from those
    managing mammal, insect, research, and teaching collections in
    TaxonWorks
  * Does It Do That? Should It? An Unconference on TaxonWorks
  * Syncing Taxonomy at a Global Scale Across System Aggregators
  * Taxon Pages Update, see and learn more about new capabilities and
    features
  * Workshop - Taxa and their names: Experience, hands-on, SFG tools

  * Our Community Drives the Evolution of TaxonWorks: hear from those
    managing mammal, insect, research, and teaching collections in
    TaxonWorks
  * Processes as a central challenge to Biodiversity Informatics - A
    Perspective from the Crayfish Community. Hear about collaborations
    between collections and state agencies.
  * Genomes, eDNA, Barcodes: Should TaxonWorks Engage DNA, if so, How
    and When?
  * Ento-Bento: Customizing and Facilitating TaxonWorks Training in
