The Call for Symposia is Now Open!

On behalf of the Missouri Department of Conservation, we invite you to submit a proposal for an Organized Symposium, and take advantage of this opportunity to be a part of the scientific centerpiece of the meeting.

An Organized Symposium is a series of integrated presentations that address aspects of a single topic or theme. A symposium can consist of invited speakers only or be open to accepting presentations from the general call for abstracts, which will open by mid-August.

If you have an innovative idea on a timely subject that would appeal to fish and wildlife professionals from across the midwestern states, now is your opportunity submit your proposal for consideration. Use this form and click "Submit Proposal" link to get started!  In the first step you will be asked to create an account with a password.

Responsibilities of Symposia Organizers: Organizers are responsible for coordinating with the Program Committee, planning their session, selecting presenters, moderating their symposia, and adhering to all deadlines. MWFWC does not pay registration fees, travel expenses, or honoraria for symposium organizers or presenters; and everyone must register for the conference.

The online form will prompt you for the following details: Symposium Title; Co-organizers; Type (Invite Only or Open); Presenters/Topics (preliminary list); as well as a brief Overview of the symposium (300 words).

Thank you!
