2025 Poster Sessions:

As part of the conference program, the National Hurricane Conference (NHC) is offering the opportunity for students to present their original academic research on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, from 5:30 pm-6:30 pm during the Welcome Reception. Those currently enrolled in institutions of higher education or those academics focused on emergency management related topics are encouraged to submit a poster abstract for the Annual NHC in April. Presenting a poster at the conference is a unique opportunity for you to share emergency management knowledge and expertise with student peers, conference participants and emergency management professionals while in a more relaxed environment. Posters will be displayed throughout the week in front of the Exhibit Hall.

New Research Workshop Sessions:

In addition to the poster presentation, the NHC is offering the opportunity for 5 of the selected Student Attendees to present their academic research as part of a New Research Workshop Session during the regular conference hours. Presentations must focus on the original research represented in their posters, and the topic must be related to the field of emergency management. Presenters should construct a short PowerPoint presentation that includes the research methodology and data sources used for the project. Participants will have 10-15 minutes to demonstrate their findings. Following the presentation, an opportunity will be provided to discuss their topic with a panel of emergency management stakeholders.
