We will be accepting three different types of proposals:

• Breakout Sessions - These sessions are 60 minutes in length. 
• Speed Greening Sessions - These are 10 minute-sessions that combine several 'mini' breakout sessions in one. Attendees table-hop and spend 10 minutes with each of four presenters.  It's a great way to get a quick read on a topic and meet other GSNC participants.Each Speed Greening session will have one presentation on a thematic topic from each strand.
• Poster Sessions - There will be an area in the Exhibit Hall at the 2015 Conference to showcase posters that reflect student work, research, and other special projects.  Presenters will be asked to stay close to their posters to answer questions related to their work during the Exhibit Hall Reception on Thursday evening.
