Island Invasives 2026 is the fourth conference in the Island Invasives series started in Auckland, New Zealand in 2001.

The goal of the conference is knowledge transfer that enables accelerated uptake of eradication methodologies which will enhance biodiversity and the lives of people on islands around the world.
