Join us for the 16th North American Crane Workshop to be held in Baraboo, Wisconsin 23-26 October, 2023. The theme of this year’s workshop will be “50 Years of Crane Conservation: Challenges and Opportunities”. We look forward to hearing from you about all aspects of crane conservation and research. The abstract submission portal is open until 1 July, 2023. Please provide a concise statement of the topic or issue to be discussed and a summary of the major findings and conclusions. Abstracts are limited to 250 words or less. Your abstract will be reproduced in the Workshop program. Please contact NACW16 coordinator Barry Hartup with questions or difficulties with submissions (hartup@savingcranes.org). There are several $500 Student Travel awards available. These awards aim to support and encourage the participation of students conducting crane research, whether at the graduate or undergraduate level. The application deadline is August 1, 2023. Applicants do not need to be current members of NACWG. Award winners will be notified by September 1. Register for the meeting HERE. Full standard registration is $300; student and spouse discounted registration is $150. This is the same great price – and excellent value – for our 2017 and 2020 workshops! Registration entitles you to our welcome icebreaker event, two days of scientific sessions with lunch and snacks included, access to our silent auction, and a ticket and transportation to the field trip day (lunch included) and banquet. Lodging information for several nearby hotels, motels, and B&Bs is available HERE. Make your discounted reservations early! Please spread the word – and we look forward to seeing you in Baraboo soon!

The theme of this year’s workshop will be “50 Years of Crane Conservation: Challenges and Opportunities”. We look forward to hearing from you about all aspects of crane conservation and research. The abstract submission portal is NOW OPEN until 1 July 2023 (submit abstracts HERE). Plan to have your work considered for a full oral presentation, a short lighting talk, or both. We hope to notify all speakers of their acceptance and preferred format in August. We encourage student participation and will be offering four student travel award opportunities in the coming weeks. Full oral presentations will be an opportunity to provide greater detail about your work, with time to describe the research process, your findings, and their implications. They will be 12-15 minutes long with 3-5 minutes for questions. The final time allotted for full presentations will be finalized after abstract submission and will be communicated to presenters. Lightning talks consist of short, engaging presentations focused on sharing an idea, finding, question, or update. They are not meant to be fast-tracked versions of regular presentations. Lightning talks emphasize the objective and outcome, or impact of the work. They should focus on the big questions driving your research rather than the details. Lightning talks should consist of 1 to 5 slides maximum. Presenters should plan for a 3-minute presentation and 2 minutes for questions. Please contact NACW16 coordinator Barry Hartup with questions about the workshop or difficulties with submissions (hartup@savingcranes.org; 608-566-4477). Please spread the word – and we look forward to seeing you in Baraboo soon!
