CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

General Info
Over the past 30 years, the Regional Aquatics Workshop (RAW) has traveled all over the country and even abroad. We are excited that it has finally come home to Ohio and, on behalf of the original group, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is proud to host the 2019 Regional Aquatics Workshop May 13th -17th, 2019. Retro RAW will celebrate how far our industry has come in 30 years, and what is ahead for the next 30.

We are calling upon presenters to submit abstracts for 20-minute oral presentations (15 minutes presenting plus 5 minutes of questions).

If you would like to present during Retro RAW, please carefully follow the instructions for authors and submit the abstract to the program committee at the following email address: RAWAbstracts@columbuszoo.org.

All verbal presentations will be video recorded by Animal Professionals and will be available on their website http://animalprofessional.com/

Submissions not accepted for oral presentation may be directed toward the poster session. If you prefer to present your information in the form of a poster please indicate this preference when submitting your abstract.
