If you think you might want to pull together a themed session, the due
date is two weeks from today:
Themed Sessions:
Themed sessions may consist of four to six individual 15-minute talks
addressing a particular taxon, geographic region or issue in carnivore
conservation. Alternatively, a themed session may take the form of a
roundtable or panel discussion among the panelists. Organizers of
themed sessions should submit proposals no later than March 13, 2009.
Session proposal submissions must contain:
- Full contact information for the session organizer
- Preference for 1.5-hour (4 speakers) or 2-hour (6 speakers) time
slot
- Indicate whether themed session will consist of individual talks
or roundtable discussion
- A short description of the theme of the session Name, affiliation
and e-mail of each proposed speaker, along with provisional title (for
individual talks) or description of role (for panel/roundtable format)
- Organizers of themed sessions will be informed by March 31, 2009,
if their session has been accepted. Individual speakers within themed
sessions will then be given information on how to submit their
abstracts or roundtable topic descriptions.
The conference will be held November 15-18, 2009 in Denver, Colorado.
This will be our seventh carnivore conservation conference, and
promises to build on our track record of bringing together academics,
activists, and wildlife professionals to discuss a wide array of issues
involved in carnivore conservation. The 2009 conference headquarters is
the Grand Hyatt Denver.

I’ve also attached the agenda from the last 2006 conference to give you
an idea of the types of sessions/talks there were.
You can contact me, Aimee Delach (adelach@defenders.org), and/or Nina
Fascione (nfascione@defenders.org) if you have any questions.
