2021 Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research and Management Showcase

LAST CALL - Registration closes at midnight on Tuesday, 9/21. Get your tickets today!

This year's line-up will have you pondering eDNA monitoring and genetic biocontrol as the AIS surveillance and management tools of the future. We also have some project updates you won't want to miss! The research team studying low-dose copper for zebra mussel suppression was at Pelican Lake this year. Find out what they were working on and what's next. Also new this year, we will be hosting a common carp management panel with four of our researchers. How can we integrate and build off of their research to protect and restore Minnesota's beloved waters? Join us to find out.

About the event:

• All sessions will be live streamed. All sessions (with the exception of the poster sessions) will be recorded.
• Recorded talks will be uploaded to the MAISRC YouTube channel and made available to Showcase attendees after the event.
• At the end of each session there will be time for live Q&A with the presenting researcher(s).
• Sessions are concurrent - there will be five sessions to choose from per time slot. (Remember, talks are being recorded, so you will be able to view all session later!)
• All sessions (with the exception of the Common Carp Panel and New Projects Lighting Talk) are on the agenda twice - giving you two opportunities to catch the talk live and ask questions.

Day of the Showcase / Accessing the talks:

The first step is to register for the Showcase through Eventbrite. After you register, you should immediately get a kickback email from Eventbrite. Please check your spam filters if you do not.

The morning of the Showcase, attendees will receive an email with a new PDF agenda. The agenda will have hyperlinks to join the sessions. The PDF will not be available on the Showcase website (www.maisrc.umn.edu/2021-showcase) - it will only be available through email. The agenda will be sent to the email address you used to register through Eventbrite. The special agenda and emails throughout the day will be how attendees join sessions.

On the day of the Showcase, 9/22, if you have not received your new agenda by 7 A.M., please send an email to maisrc@umn.edu. Again, this email will be sent on Sept. 22, not before.

Tickets for our online Showcase are $20, register today! If the cost of attendance presents a barrier to your attendance, please visit our scholarship page.
