Welcome to the Conference Center

Biosphere 2 serves as one of Arizona’s top tourism destinations and was recently designated by Time Life Books as one of the 50 must-see wonders of the world. The Conference Center at Biosphere 2 offers a unique and exotic location that is still “close to home.”

Utilizing the Conference Center's unique environment, The B2 Institute is addressing scientific Grand Challenges whose solutions require the combined expertise of a broad range of scientific fields and diverse interdisciplinary talents. It provides a non-traditional structure that facilitates interaction through a combination of workshops, conferences, retreats, extended programs, and outreach activities.

In addition, it also hosts and may co-sponsor events convened by academic organizations as well as by non-profit foundations and businesses to address a variety of important issues in science and education that fall under its broad thematic umbrella.
