IGNITE Session & Dessert Buffet
Ignite talks provide a great platform for people to quickly share project updates, notes from the field, or other important topics that don’t require a full 20-minute presentation. By automating slide progression and condensing the talk to 5 minutes, it provides a fun platform for both the presenter and audience!

Wildlife Trivia Night (additional $15 fee to attend; includes dinner)
Join us in the hotel lounge for a wild night of trivia! Liz Schold and Peter Kleinhenz of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will be hosting four fun rounds of wildlife-themed trivia, challenging your knowledge of North American fauna. Questions will be about creatures from all over the continent, so we encourage you to team up with folks from a different region for a competitive advantage! Don’t miss this opportunity to meet and mingle with new people and compete for the glory of winning our grand prize. Additional $15.00 charge for pizza, salad, and snacks.
