The International Marine Conservation Congress 6 has come and gone. Usually, I am exhausted and need a couple of weeks to get over the conference after having such a great time and resting my voice from talking to people for a week straight; however, this time around is a little different as I did not attend the conference as well as I could have. In fact, I would say that I failed to attend IMCC6. I want to be clear that the conference was well planned out and ran smoothly. I loved the sessions and the presentations that I saw were amazing. Listen to the episode to find out how I failed the conference. How did you like IMCC6?

The International Marine Conservation Congress has begun, but this time it's virtual (due to COVID)! How will the virtual conference be different from the in-person conference? I go over some of the things to which I look forward and some of the things that I will miss. The greatest part is you can be a part of IMCC6 and you don't have to be a Marine Scientist or Marine Conservationist. The price is right to watch some great presentations and get involved in some meetups.

Nathan and I are finally here at the International Marine Conservation Congress where we will be networking with old and new colleagues, talking science, and interviewing scientists and conservationists who do everything they can to understand and protect the Ocean. We decided to talk about our first day at the conference and discuss the sessions we attended including how there was quite a bit of focus on social marketing for marine science and conservation. This focus was a bit of a surprise because you never hear about this type of work being presented at conferences. The common message of the talks were to choose a target audience and include emotion in messages to said target audience. Nathan wondered into a great session delegates were telling stories from the field on stage for other delegates and the public. It was quite interesting and entertaining. Our last session was to attend a poster session where there were over 50 poster presentations, along with food and drinks. It was a great way to engage with people from all over the world and talk about their projects. We plan on conducting some interviews throughout the week that we will be adding to our Interview Wednesdays for a while. It's a great way to meet new people! So stay tuned!
