Nachusa Grasslands Virtual Science Symposium 2022

Saturday, April 23

The seventh annual Nachusa Science Symposium co-hosted by The Nature Conservancy and Friends of Nachusa Grasslands will take place on Saturday, April 23, 2022, via Zoom.

Event Overview:

The virtual event will feature three thematic sessions, each with a series of pre-recorded talks and posters, a live panel discussion with questions from the virtual audience, and an interactive virtual networking session.
 
Pre-recorded talks and posters will be made available in advance of the symposium, allowing attendees to view them at their own convenience before (and after) the symposium day.

On the day of the symposium, there will be an option to watch the session talks prior to the live panel discussion and networking event. We hope this allows people maximum flexibility for interacting with the content and allows balance between live interactive sessions, Zoom-breaks, and other life demands.

Everyone is encouraged to attend all three live sessions, but we recognize everyone is managing a lot right now and have structured the day to allow each attendee to pick and choose which sessions to attend.

Thank you all for being part of what makes the Nachusa Grassland Science Symposium a special event. We recognize that a virtual meeting presents challenges, and we appreciate your patience and enthusiasm as we host an event that will differ from our past symposiums.

The virtual format also provides opportunities: we can accommodate more people virtually, folks can join without traveling, and pre-recorded content can be consumed on your own schedule.

Please submit the reservation form below by Tuesday, April 12.
