Technical Sessions (Feb 25-27)
Technical sessions will address fisheries topics from the ocean depths to mountain headwaters and into the rangeland and desert beyond. Presentations should succinctly (and passionately) describe your subject, follow traditional scientific format (introduction, methods, results, conclusions) when possible, and stimulate discussion among your colleagues.
Posters are written, self-explanatory presentations that must fit within a 4x4 ft space on a poster board (provided). They should be readable from a distance of 3 ft, include your contact information, and may be enhanced with photos and handouts. They will be on display throughout the meeting and featured during a social event from 2000-2200 hrs Wednesday evening, when the lead author should be available to describe and discuss their work.
Papers are 15-minute oral and/or PowerPoint presentations (existing on a flash drive or CD) and delivered live and in-person, with allowances of 5-minutes for questions and speaker changes (hence papers are scheduled at strict 20-minute intervals). Papers have been grouped into sessions according to general topics to facilitate dialogue among colleagues with similar interests. Please coordinate with your session moderator to provide them your PowerPoint presentation via email, flash drive, or CD well before the session begins. Sessions and moderators are:

Moderators will provide a PC-based laptop computer with MS PowerPoint, laser pointer, gather and upload presentations prior to the session, provide a brief introduction for each speaker, moderate questions, and keep the session strictly on schedule. No speaker will be allowed to go beyond their allotted time, and none will be allowed to begin earlier than scheduled. A student volunteer will be available to assist with A-V and lights in each session.
