One of the best ways to connect those of us committed to the understanding and conservation of the Sonoran Desert is in person. Irregularly N-Gen holds a region wide Summit. The first was held in Tucson, Arizona April 18–20 2012, our second in Guaymas, Sonora 27–29 October 2015, and the next in Álamos, Sonora 25–27 April 2024.
