abstract submission - NOW OPEN


​Please read through the format of this year's meeting HERE.

The Consortium Board is currently accepting abstracts for both "live" and pre-recorded/viewed video presentations at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Your participation in the meeting does not preclude a presentation type. In person and virtual presenters may opt to do either a "live" or pre-recorded/viewed presentation. 

Of particular interest at the 2025 Meeting are presentations in the topics of
  • Management and conservation action outside of regulatory processes
  • Progress on recently funded large scale right whale initiatives, including those related to technology advancements/improvements, monitoring efforts, and on-demand fishing advancements
  • Emerging scientific collaborations
 
"Live" presentations:
In-person live presentations will be just that - delivered live, in person. 
Virtual live - presenter will be live on screen, introduce their talk, but a pre-recorded presentation will run in order to minimize tech issues with switching computer control and internet challenges. 

Pre-recorded/viewed presentations:
For both in person and virtual participants, presentations will be pre-recorded and viewed prior to the meeting. 

Posters:
We will have limited space in 2025 for posters, but may be able to offer a virtual poster session. 
​
​Participants wishing to present at the 2024 Annual Meeting (in person or virtually) must submit an abstract for review no later than July 31st, 2025. Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words and should be formatted as shown HERE . Submission should be completed online. Please note that you will be asked to submit two abstracts - one without authors/affiliations and one fully formatted. Multiple participants from an organization may be asked to describe the significant differences in their work.

Please complete and submit the abstract submission form (see link above). Please be sure to indicate your topic preference on the submission form.
 
Presentations (both live and pre-recorded) will be assigned as speed talks (<5 minutes) or full talks (<10 minutes) during the review process.
