All individuals working in Everglades' ecosystem restoration are invited to submit an abstract for consideration as an oral or poster presentation describing their efforts, science, projects and results. Abstracts may be submitted for oral or poster presentation, and will be published electronically in the book of abstracts.

Oral Presentations

Contributed abstract submissions will be grouped topically to form thematic sessions. These sessions, combined with pre-organized dedicated sessions, will be used to prepare the program agenda of scheduled presentations. To allow as many people as possible to give a talk, all authors are limited to giving a maximum of one oral presentation, however, you may present multiple posters if you wish.

Poster Presentations

Posters will be on display throughout the conference in the Poster & Sponsor Display Room. This is the primary gathering spot where morning, mid-day and afternoon refreshments are served. The agenda features a lunch buffet on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday plus evening Poster Session Socials on Tuesday and Thursday in the poster hall. These networking functions maximize opportunities for discussion amongst poster presenters, attendees and sponsors.

Abstract Submission Fee

Abstracts must be submitted online. Please do not email them. A fee of $25.00 per abstract is charged at the time of submission and is to be paid by credit card so have your number handy before you begin the submission process. This fee is non-refundable.

Abstract Topics

If you were invited to speak in a pre-organized dedicated session, you need to know the session number assigned to that session. If you are submitting a contributed abstract, you will be asked to identify the most applicable theme and sub-topic when you upload the file.
