Submissions due 
        
April 15, 2012! 
        
  
        
During this Ecosystem
        Services Partnership conference, you will have the opportunity to
        present a paper in a parallel session, present a poster, or organize a
        working group. Details of all three options are below:  
        
 
        Parallel Session
        Presentations: 
        
These presentations will be held on
        the first two days of the conference. There will be only a few parallel
        sessions, but with shorter presentations. This will allow you to have a
        larger audience for your presentation. 
        
  
        
Poster
        Presentations: 
        
Posters will be displayed
        throughout the conference, with specific times for being at your poster
        for discussion. 
        
  
        
Working
        Groups: 
        
Small groups
        working over the course of two days (August 1-2), to solve a problem
        and implement the solutions. Working groups are intended to be
        transdisciplinary, including a diverse range of scientists, policy
        makers, communicators, and practitioners. They should allow sufficient
        time for participants to meet and interact to discuss and solve real
        problems in the field and also to determine how to best communicate the
        results. Working groups will be given a short amount of time on the
        final day (August 3) of the conference to report their results in
        plenary. 
         
        Click here to submit
        your abstract, poster or working group now! Or visit the conference website for more
        information.
