Call for Proposals

The conference committee is pleased to invite proposals for Pre-Conference Workshops and Training Courses to be held in conjunction with the conference. A limited number will be selected to run on Monday 27 October at the UWA Club.

The overarching theme of this year’s conference is ‘Nature Positive’, a theme the conference committee hopes will showcase the outstanding biodiversity and natural environmental values of Western Australia and encourage the sharing of knowledge acquired through the outstanding contributions being made to manage and conserve our state’s unique biodiversity. Where possible, proposals should demonstrate how they align with the conference theme.

Please note a separate call for abstracts for presentations and posters will open in January 2025.

Instructions for Pre-Conference Workshops and Training Courses:

Please provide an overview of the Pre-Conference Workshop or Training Course you would like to run, keeping the length of your summary to 2,000 characters, including spaces (approx. 285 words) and the presenters biographical note to 500 characters, including spaces (approx. 70 words). Where possible, demonstrate how the submission aligns with the conference theme ‘Nature Positive’.

In your submission please indicate:

• The minimum and preferred number of attendees (note seminar rooms at the UWA Club where workshops/training courses can be held have a max of 20 or 30 people depending on the room). For larger groups an alternate venue would need to be identified.
• The time duration of the workshop/training course.
• If there would be a fee for delegates to attend the workshop and estimated amount. The committee will build in UWA Club seminar room hire costs and catering as needed.
• Any special requirements or materials to be provided.
