Call for Abstracts and Workshop Proposals
We are pleased to announce the Call for Abstracts and Workshop Proposals for the upcoming 2026 meeting in Bryce Canyon. We invite all participants to contribute to the dialogue and innovation shaping the future of wildlife management and conservation.
ABSTRACTS
We encourage presentations related to our theme but invite you to present on topics related to wildlife research, ecology, management, conservation, education, or policy. All topics are welcome, and we strongly encourage students to present. Abstracts should be no more than 250 words, clearly outlining the objectives, methods, results, and conclusions of the work.
Traditional oral presentations: 20 minutes allotted for each presentation (15-18 minutes for presentations followed by 2-5 minutes for questions and answers). Oral presentations are limited to Microsoft PowerPoint or Adobe PDFs. No other formats will be accepted.
Poster presentations: Maximum dimensions are 4 feet by 4 feet in size. Easels will be provided. There will be a formal poster session before the banquet, allowing presenters more time to discuss their work with conference participants. Attendance at the poster session is required for presenters.
Submission Deadline: Friday, January 23, 2026
