CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS - SHIPWRECKS/ 2010
We are now in the planning stages for
our 16th
annual one-day symposium on shipwrecks, Shipwrecks/2010 .
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 MUST 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 ;
