The upcoming 7th International Marine Conservation Congress (October 13-18th in Cape Town, South Africa) is one of the world's largest interdisciplinary ocean conservation science and practice conferences.
If you'd like to lead a workshop or focus group, or submit an idea for a symposium, those are due February 9th.
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:

I (SCB-Marine Science Officer and IMCC7 Co-Chair) David Shiffman am happy to answer any questions that anyone has!
Sincerely,
--
