Dear SCGIS Community,

We are excited to be back hosting an in-person International Conference from 3 to 6 of September, 2024 at the National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, USA, and we are now inviting you to submit an abstract by April 1st to share your work with our global community!

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.  

To submit individual abstracts for presentation (note, in person only), 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. 

**Please note that in order to submit an abstract, you will be prompted to login (or create an account) through Oxford Abstracts. We appreciate you taking this additional step!

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!  SCGIS volunteers will help organize and host the sessions.  We ask you to provide the content.  For further information on this and to submit ideas for sessions, fill out the Curated Session Submission Web form.
