Call For Presenations: National Trails Symposium
American Trails 19th National Trails Symposium will take place November 15-18, 2008 in Little Rock, Arkansas. To help develop an exciting and motivating program for the Symposium, you are invited to submit ideas for presentations in support of the Symposium’s theme, Innovative Trails: Transforming the American Way of Life. It is expected that 40 concurrent sessions will be offered, each lasting 75 minutes.
Another opportunity, in a smaller scale format, to display information about your project or issue to a wide audience is creating a poster. Posters will be displayed in a common area throughout the Symposium. Individuals displaying posters will also have an opportunity to share their “story” and to meet with interested attendees at designated times during the Symposium.
The Program Committee is particularly seeking presentations that introduce new ideas, convey useful strategies, identify lessons learned, and strengthen participants’ existing skills and knowledge — in the spirit of the Symposium theme. Potential topics for presentations include, but are definitely not limited to, the general topic areas that you will find included in the Call.
