| Curated Sessions and Abstract Presentations submissions open until March 15th! |
|
| |
|
| 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. |
|
| |
|
| An Abstract Presentation is a single, 10-12 minute presentation (with 3 - 5 minutes for questions), where the solo presenter discusses their work on a project, problem or topic. A Curated Session can be in the form of a multi-speaker session, a panel or training. These sessions are longer in length (example: 1 hour) and are designed by the submitter (you!). Both of these formats can be on any subject, so long it relates to Conservation GIS. If you aren't sure which format you would like to present under, please reach out to conferenc...@scgis.org - we'll be happy to help you choose! |
