Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace, Orlando FL The Association for Fire Ecology and the Southern Fire Exchange invite you to attend the 7th International Fire Ecology and Management Congress, which is being held in Orlando, Florida this fall. This event will be one of the largest, most comprehensive meetings on research and management of wildland fire globally, bringing together fire researchers, managers, policy makers, and students. The conference program has a mix of presentations, roundtable discussions, workshops and trainings, field trips, and student activities. Our opening and closing plenaries, presented by an outstanding set of national and international speakers, will focus on the conference theme "Fire Vision 20/20: A 20 Year Reflection and Look into the Future." We also have a special plenary session featuring *Fire AFEx Talks*, which will consist of 10 engaging presentations covering a range of key wildland fire topics. More than 20 different special sessions containing 150+ presentations will occur throughout the week, covering topics from climate change and restoration to prescribed burn associations and fire education.
