Hello, marine conservation friends!
I am SCB-Marine's Science Officer, and a co-chair of the upcoming 7th International Marine Conservation Congress (October 13-18 in Cape Town, South Africa).
We are now accepting submissions for IMCC Symposia, Workshops, Focus Groups, and also nominations for Plenary Speakers! Regular talk abstracts will be open for submission in a few weeks so stay tuned there.

Workshops are meant to teach participants a professional development skill, and focus groups are meant to gather a team of experts together for a focused discussion. Both occur before the main IMCC meeting. Symposia are thematically focused groups of talks about the same general topic that take place during the main IMCC meeting. Learn more about workshops, focus groups, and symposia here: https://scbmarineprogram.org/meetings-imcc7-call-for-proposals/
To submit, please visit this website https://imis.conbio.org/imis/iCommerce/IMCC_Sign_In.aspx?ssoredirect=https://xcdsystem.com/imcc/api/imis/index.cfm , where Society for Conservation Biology members can log in, or you can submit without being an SCB member.
Additionally, we are now accepting nominations for IMCC Plenary Speakers!
The International Marine Conservation Congress has a rich tradition of thought-provoking and dynamic plenary talks. For the upcoming 7th International Marine Conservation Congress, we are giving the marine conservation community the chance to nominate possible plenary speakers. We are looking for speakers who have made a major contribution to the science or practice of ocean conservation, and have insights to share with the global marine conservation community in an engaging way. Talks that are broadly relevant to a global audience of scientists and practitioners, and especially contributions in an African context, will be given priority. Speakers can be any career stage. Self nominations are permitted.
Input nominations here. https://forms.gle/h9nxsGtchyssPfSPA
