Call for Session Proposals and Sponsorship Support
Session Proposal Submission Deadline: Friday, June 6, 2025
The National Conference on Ecosystem Restoration (NCER 2026) will be held April 13-16, 2026, in Omaha, Nebraska. The NCER 2026 theme will focus on the “Return on Investment: How Are We Doing and What Is the Future?” We'll examine ecosystem restoration across the nation and discuss how ROI can guide future planning, funding, and implementation.
This year’s NCER will be a three-day program with a more intimate and interactive format, featuring two concurrent sessions designed to encourage attendee discussion and engagement.
Call for Session Proposals
Restoration professionals nationwide are encouraged to contribute to shaping the NCER program agenda by proposing and organizing sessions within their areas of expertise. This collaborative approach ensures diverse representation across all scales of restoration, fostering integrative, cross-system discussions and facilitating the sharing of region-specific knowledge with a broad audience.
Potential Topics
We have prepared a broad list of session themes to serve as a guide to help proposal submitters, and eventually, abstract submitters, identify the applicable topic. Please do not feel limited to these areas – NCER seeks to capture all emerging topics and new ideas in ecosystem restoration.
Session Format
NCER features two types of session formats – standard format and panel session format. All sessions are 90-minutes long. Indicate your preferred format when uploading the proposal (standard or panel). All sessions are live and in-person. There are no remote presentation options.
