Call for Proposals for Symposia, Field Trips, and Workshops

The New England Chapter, on behalf of the Society of Wetland Scientists (SWS), is now inviting new proposals for Symposia, Field Trips, and Workshops to be held at the SWS 2025 Annual Meeting on Tuesday, July 15 through Friday, July 18, 2025, in Providence, Rhode Island. All proposals must be submitted through the online form provided below and must be received no later than Friday, December 20, 2024. Early submissions are highly encouraged, and reviews will be conducted on a rolling basis.

All speakers, coordinators, and/or leaders of symposia, field trips, and workshops are required to attend and present in person. Submissions on any topic applicable to the conference theme of Navigating the Waters: Wetland Science, Evolving Policy, and the Future of our Landscape, are encouraged. We also accept submissions related to the local sub-themes of coastal resilience and synergies between wetland protection/restoration and economic resources (e.g., fishing/shellfishing, recreation). Other related themes may also be accepted.
