Subject: SCGIS 2023 Virtual Conference: Call for Abstract SubmissionsDear SCGIS Community,
This is a friendly reminder to submit an abstract or a Curated Session by May 5th to share your work with our global community.
Our virtual SCGIS 2023 Annual International Conference is happening from 15th to 18th of August – we look forward to hearing from you!
What conservation GIS projects have you been exploring recently? Our annual conference is the perfect place to share your work and experience with your colleagues. We invite you to submit abstracts on a wide range of topics pertaining to conservation GIS (please see list of suggested topics below). The conference will be virtual as we strive to bring our members and colleagues together in spite of the pandemic.
To submit individual abstracts for presentation, please fill out the Abstract Submission Web form. We ask that presentations be 12-15 minutes in length with an additional 5 minutes for questions. Presentations will be live via Zoom and we will attempt to schedule sessions that are convenient for the presenter’s time zone. Any presenters joining with low internet bandwidth are strongly encouraged to submit a pre-recorded presentation and join the live session for Q&A.
We also invite you to submit proposals for a Curated Session around a topic of interest in conservation GIS. This could be centered around GIS work by your organization, a multi-organization working group, in a particular geographic area, an SCGIS Chapter, or just a subject you think is important to explore! We ask you to host the session and provide the session content. For further information on this and to submit ideas for sessions, fill out the Curated Session Submission Web form.
For questions, please contact conferenc...@scgis.org.
Submission deadline is May 5th, 2023.
Excitedly,
The SCGIS Conference Committee
