[MAIPC] Call for Abstracts (Please Spread the Word)

[Nathan Hartshorne]

Dear All,


We are now seeking submissions for oral presentations and poster
presentations for the upcoming 2019 Mid-Atlantic Invasive Plant Council
Conference this August 5th and 6th.  Please send/forward to relevant
listservs, colleagues, researchers, and friends.



ORAL PRESENTATIONS:  The 2019 conference will use a one-track format; there
will be no concurrent sessions.  In addition to plenary talks, there will
be several themed sessions of 7-minute oral presentations followed by
discussion. We are using this method so that our speakers are provided a
full audience for their presentations and so that our listeners can hear
every presentation.  The 7-minute talks should:



Minute One – Grab the audience’s attention

Minute Two – Summarize your project/idea

Minutes Three through Six – Provide the meat of your topic

Minute Seven – Summarize your project/idea again



Presentation Formats

Abstracts can be submitted for either oral or poster presentation.  Authors
should indicate their preference for an oral or poster presentation during
the submission process. However, the Program Committee will make the final
allocation of presentation format as it will not be possible for all to
give an oral presentation.  We encourage all those submitting abstracts for
oral presentations also submit a poster – there will be plenty of time for
discussion during the evening Poster Pub session on August 5.



Abstract Submission Guidelines - Please submit abstracts to Nathan
Hartshorne at info.maipc at gmail.com.
