We are soliciting abstracts for in-person posters and 20-minute oral presentations for the scientific technical sessions at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Western Section of The Wildlife Society.

Abstract content should be related to the technical session topics listed below, but additional topics may be entertained if sufficient presentations are submitted. The conference program committee will evaluate the submitted abstracts to determine the final concurrent session topics and technical session program. Oral presentations will be recorded and available online for six months.
  • Fill out the form below to submit your abstract for the 2024 Annual Meeting.
  • Submitting an abstract does not imply acceptance or a guarantee of a place in the program. Some submitted papers or posters will likely not be accepted because they may not be suited to the conference, encounter scheduling problems, or have other issues.
  • We will finalize our oral and poster presenter schedule by the 1st week of December and will notify all who have submitted abstracts of their status at that time. Decisions to accept or not accept papers or posters are solely the responsibility of the Program Committee.
  • The committee expects that your co-authors are aware of and have approved this abstract.
  • Oral and Poster Presenters are expected to pay the conference registration fee and cover their own travel expenses.
  • For more information check out the Western Section Annual Meeting website coming soon: tws-west.org
