Schedule
Sessions
NSS Convention includes scheduled sessions on particular caving-related topics. They are an excellent opportunity to learn about a topic, including in-depth information and recent developments from scientists, explorers, and other fellow cavers.
How to Present: To present at the convention, contact the chair of the relevant session with your subject, the required time/equipment, and an abstract. Abstracts should be a summary of conclusions and results, not merely a statement of what the presentation is about. Please limit abstracts to 250 words. For more information on individual sessions, please click the sessions titles below where linked.
The Deadline for submitting abstracts is May 15th. This is a firm deadline.
