The Annual IEP Workshop will be held March 4-6, 2025 at the California Natural Resources Headquarters building at 715 P Street in Sacramento.

The workshop will be a free, hybrid event with up to 300 in-person attendees per day and presentations livestreamed on Zoom for virtual guests. Workshop registration opens early February 2025.

Abstract Submissions

We are now accepting abstract submissions. Participants wishing to present must submit an abstract (300 words or less) summarizing their contribution. We welcome submissions from all IEP member agencies, affiliates, and other stakeholders at all career levels, and preliminary work is welcome! Participants are limited to one abstract as presenting author but may be a contributing author on any number of others.

• Abstract Submission Form (Deadline for abstract submissions is November 15 at midnight.)

UPDATE ON THE 2022 IEP ANNUAL WORKSHOP

Due to COVID safety concerns, the IEP Coordinators have made the decision to cancel the in-person portion of the IEP workshop in March. Instead, the workshop will be held as a 100% virtual event and will be FREE to attend. The event will still take place over the original 3 days from March 22-24, 2022. These will be full day events.

We are planning to hold the Mentorship Luncheon, the Project Work Teams Chairpersons' Luncheon and the Poster Session as remote events as well. For the Mentorship Luncheon, we will require people to register online ahead of time, so we know how many people will be participating. More information on attending the Mentoring Luncheon will be posted soon to the IEP Annual Workshop page.

The agenda for the Workshop has been posted on the IEP Annual Workshop page. A Workshop Program and Abstract Booklet for the presentations and posters will be posted closer to the date of the event.

Are you interested in giving a short Lightning Talk or entertaining us with your poetic voice about the estuary? If so, contact Steve Culberson and Morgan Gilbert to participate in our Lightning Talks & Poetry Slam Session. We've never done a session like this before in a virtual environment, so this could be fun and interesting.

As more information gets posted online, we'll send out additional notification emails.

We look forward to seeing all of you in March!
