The Wildlife Society’s 30th Annual Conference
November 5 – 9, 2023
The Wildlife Society will hold its 30th Annual Conference in Louisville, Kentucky between November 5-9, 2023. The Conference will include workshops and trainings, symposia, panel discussions, contributed oral presentations, contributed posters, and student research in progress posters. We invite you to submit abstracts for prospective contributed oral or poster presentations on topics of wildlife ecology, management, conservation, education, or policy.
Contributed Oral Presentations will be presented live and in-person in Louisville. Each oral presentation will be allotted 15 minutes, which includes 12 minutes for the presentation and three minutes for questions. Along with preparing a slide deck for their in-person presentation, contributed oral presenters will be required to upload a 12-minute video recording of their talk prior to the conference. Video presentations are due approximately one week before the conference and will be used to create a video archive of presentations at the conference, which will be available both during and following the event. The recorded format enhances accessibility of conference content.
Contributed Posters will be presented live and in-person in Louisville. Presenters will present a printed version of their poster at the conference. Along with preparing a printed poster for their in-person presentation, contributed presenters will be required upload a PDF version of their poster for asynchronous viewing through the mobile app and online. They will also have the option of uploading a short, recorded video summary of their poster.
Student Research in Progress Posters – All undergraduate, M.S., and Ph.D. students with research in progress can submit an abstract for this session. Abstracts submitted can include 1) research that is in progress; 2) a proposed research project (with a focus on study design); 3) results from completed undergraduate research projects; or 4) student chapter research projects that may not be appropriate for the regular poster sessions (these may include a class or group research project). Along with preparing a printed poster for their live, in-person presentation, SRIP presenters will be required upload a PDF version of their poster for asynchronous viewing and have the option of uploading a short, recorded video summary of their poster.
