NACTA is excited to welcome workshop abstract submissions for the NACTA 2025 Annual Conference to be held June 2-5, 2025 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The 71st Annual NACTA Conference will serve as a venue for faculty and graduate students in agricultural, environmental, natural, and life sciences to share their scholarship of teaching, innovative teaching and advising ideas, and other relevant teaching and learning information.
Workshop Guidelines
Workshops usually have a narrow focus or interest that will appeal to a smaller audience and are to be 2 hours in duration. All workshop proposals must have a workshop coordinator. The workshop coordinator will submit the abstract and work with the Conference program committee on workshop logistics. All workshop speakers must be registered for the annual conference. Abstracts are reviewed and selected by the EITI Committee and a representative of the host institution planning committee.

Workshop submissions will be evaluated using this rubric and selected based on the following criteria: interactivity and planned hands-on activities, broad impact, multi-institutional team, supports conference theme, highlights host institutions and/or local resources, and is sponsored by a NACTA committee.
