NAC24 Call for Proposals is open!
NAA is now accepting proposals for Individual, Poster and Symposium submissions. Proposals should fit within the conference topics and can describe a project, methodology, experience-based practice or challenge related to a natural area(s).
Please note that all presenters must be registered participants of the conference and will be responsible to cover their own registration, accommodations, and related expenses.
Opportunities
- An individual presentation is a 15-minute talk followed by 5 minutes of Q&A.
- Accepted presentations will be organized into 90-minute concurrent sessions by topic.
- Each session will include an assigned facilitator who will ensure that presenters stay on time and do not run over.
- Posters are static presentations displayed during the conference in a high-traffic location.
- Posters are ideal for research or projects in progress or to showcase a novel concept, approach, or topic related to natural areas protection and/or management.
- Presenters will engage with conference participants during a Poster Reception.
- Posters must not exceed 4’x4’.
- Symposia facilitate the exchange of information and ideas around a topic of regional or national priority for natural areas protection and/or management through a series of multiple presenters and an organizer (who may also be a presenter).
- The organizer is responsible for the coordination and communication of the session with the presenters to organize content and to moderate the session.
- A symposium will be organized into two 90-minute concurrent sessions that follow chronologically in the agenda.
- We encourage each symposium to include a 30-minute facilitated discussion after the presentations have concluded.
- The symposium moderator ensures that presenters stay on time and do not run over.
Story Maps
- Public speaking is not your thing, but you have a success story, science or experience-based research, best practices, or a methodology to share?
- Submit a Story Map that will be shared in the conference app and on the NAA website.
