CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS- SHIPWRECKS/2016
We are now in the planning stages
for our 22nd annual one-day symposium on shipwrecks, Shipwrecks/2016 . We are requesting presentations in either of 2 categories:
Primary presentations may be up to 45 minutes in length, but most are approximately 20 - 25 minutes, with additional time allotted for question and answer. Live commentary is preferred to "canned" packages.
Short, 5 minute maximum, presentations (primarily to introduce new topics or presenters) are also being requested.
All presentations should be shipwreck-related and we try for an even split between recreational and technical topics.
Please forward a brief overview of your presentation and a brief biographical sketch to the Shipwrecks Committee at; InfoShipwrecks
