CALL FOR ABSTRACTS...is now OPEN

What is your idea for a great session at the conference?

New York State Association for Reduction, Reuse and Recycling, NYSAR3 is inviting the Sustainable Materials Management community to submit an abstract for a full session at our 36th Annual Conference taking place November 12-14 in Cooperstown, NY. This year's theme is "Collaboration in Sustainable Materials Management". All session formats are accepted, including panels, round tables, training or break-out sessions, and workshops!  Show us your creativity!  Topics can range from Reduction, Reuse, Recycling, Sustainable Materials Management, Organics Recycling, End Markets, New Technologies, State or Federal Policies, or more. Sessions that reflect a collaboration in SMM will be given special preference.

 

Interested?  Here's a few guidelines to keep in mind and how you can submit an Abstract: 

  • Session should be between 1-1.5 hours in length
  • Each submission should include:
    • Session Title
    • Description of your idea
    • The Moderator name, title, affiliation
    • Speaker's name, title, affiliation and bio
    • In-person speakers only
    • Submissions will be accepted until May 23rd
  • Submit your completed Abstract to INFO@NYSAR3.org by May 23rd. 

 

Submit an Abstract

 

 

How it Works: 

  • Abstracts will be reviewed by a NYSAR3 committee
  • Selected and not selected submissions will be advised
  • Selected abstracts will remain in continuous communication with the Conference Planning Committee to unite your presentation into the conference agenda 
  • Logistics will be reviewed
  • Presentations (preferably Powerpoint) will be requested well in advance of the conference to allow organizers time to put it altogether.  We ask that you please be considerate of this time-frame and plan accordingly.  
  • Speakers will receive an email inviting them to register through the Award-winning conference platform, WHOVA, that we are using this year.  This app will keep you up-to-date with events, changes and allow you the opportunity to network with your peers before, during and after the conference.
  • Selected Session Speakers will receive a one-day discounted rate.   We invite all Speakers to join us for the full 3-days, or maybe you can just make two, and ask that you register for additional days on your own.
  • If needed, please see our Conference webpage for making your own hotel arrangements

 

What's next?  Announcements for selected abstracts will be made in July.   

 

We look forward to seeing what you have been working on and appreciate you giving us this opportunity to share it with other professionals in NY and beyond!
