Multi-day, Virtual Symposium Planned for February 2021
We are in the planning stages for a virtual 46th Desert Tortoise Council Symposium for February 2021. We are very fortunate to have teamed with the Turtle Survival Alliance and their experts for the event. These experts have already supported a successful, multi-day symposium in August 2020 with 200 to 400 people in attendance each day. For 2021, we will hold the symposium on the mornings of Tuesday and Thursday plus, the 2nd through 4th weeks in February 2021. There will be the usual sessions with oral presentations and posters, as well as the mixers (with your own beverages and snacks, of course), sponsors, awards, raffles, vendors, and more. We know how important the personal contacts are to you, so we are planning for break-out rooms and other options to meet these needs. Abstracts will be due early by November 15. Experts will be available prior to the symposium to assist you in preparing your presentations.
