2020
NMCA Call for Presentations
The NMCA has
already announced that it will not host its in-person meeting that was
originally scheduled for December 2020 at the Cape Codder
Hotel and Conference Center.
Instead, the
NMCA will be hosting a virtual event that will take place on six consecutive
Wednesday afternoons from 1-3pm starting January 6, 2021 and ending February 10,
2021.
The NMCA
welcomes presentations on any topic related to mosquito biology, control and
associated topics.
Though we do
not currently have set session topics set up, we are encouraging presentations
related to Eastern Equine Encephalitis, climate change as it relates to
mosquito biology and control including salt marsh mosquito management related
to increasing sea level rise, and all things mosquito biology and entomology.
PowerPoint
Presentations will be moderated by a host from The Northeast Regional Center
for Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases at Cornell University. A huge thanks to
Emily Mader and crew for helping us out on this front.
We realize that
the actual conference presentations will take place in 2021 but we will
continue to name this a “2020” conference for the sake of continuity, as we
hope to be back at the Cape Codder in December 2021.
All presentations
will be recorded and will be posted on a web platform, yet to be determined,
for viewing by anyone who wishes to engage. Further details on registration and
CEUs will be available on the Association website in
the next few weeks. Registration will be required to receive credits.
