The
Acadian Entomological Society is a registered scientific society whose
objectives are to bring about a close association of entomologists and those
interested in entomology in the four Atlantic Provinces and the
neighbouring New England States, and to cooperate with and to support the Entomological Society of Canada. Founded in 1915, the
Society caters to professional entomologists, amateurs,
and educators. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in
entomology. The Society meets annually, typically in July, and publishes proceedings from these meetings.

The 2009 AES Annual Meeting was held August 2-4 at Wilfred Grenfell College in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador under the theme, A "Long Range" View of Entomology.

The 2008 AES Annual meeting was held June 15th-17th at the Battery Hotel in St. John’s, NL. It centred around the theme of “Entomology on the Edge” and included a coastal collecting trip during peak iceberg and whale-watching season. Details including the agenda, abstracts, photos and a video are posted here.
Members and non-members are invited to submit their manuscripts to the Journal of the Acadian Entomological Society, an electronic refereed scientific journal produced by the Society. Occasional papers, containing information of special interest or taxonomic value that do not fit the terms of reference for publication in the Journal may also be published intermittently.
