The 4th International Smoke Symposium (ISS4) will be held at the Leigh Perkins Conservation Education Center in Tallahassee, Florida, March 23-27, 2026.
ISS4 will bring together researchers from the atmospheric sciences, the ecological sciences, health sciences, mathematicians, computer sciences, climatologists, social scientists, and others to discuss the complex issues of smoke and identify knowledge gaps and opportunities for innovation and development.

The Wildland Fire Canada Conference (WFCC) and Canadian Smoke Forum brings together wildland fire management agencies, Indigenous knowledge holders and experts, scientists, partners, and collaborators from across Canada and around the world. This biennial conference focuses on wildland fire management, science, and knowledge-sharing in Canada.

The IAWF is honored to once again host the 19th International Wildland Fire Safety Summit jointly with the 10th International Conference on Forest Fire Research. This joint event promises to be a pivotal forum for advancing research and safety discussions.

The theme for Wildfire2026 is ‘New Perspectives – Shared Solutions’, reflecting the urgent need to rethink how we approach wildfire challenges and recognising that no single perspective can address the complexity of fire risk. By sharing knowledge, experiences, and strategies, we aim to create solutions that are informed, inclusive, and effective, helping communities, policymakers, and professionals to respond to wildfires more resiliently.
