Roundtable Conversations

Roundtable conversations are informal sessions where people with a shared interest can come together to talk about that topic as part of the Wetland Science Conference. They are a great place to bring your questions or challenges to ask others for suggestions or to come up with solutions to shared challenges. Most importantly, they are great places to talk with people who share your interests and build relationships you can draw on after the conference.

Roundtable participants must be registered for the conference, however no advanced sign-up is required to participate in roundtable conversations. Please note that these sessions may be held concurrent with other conference content (working groups, workshops, field trips, and concurrent sessions), so check the conference schedule before you sign up.
