The 29th National Australian Convention of Amateur Astronomers (NACAA) will be held in the NSW regional city of Parkes over the 2020 Easter weekend, 10-13 April. The event will be hosted by the Central West Astronomical Society.
The theme for this NACAA is "Astronomy and the Citizen".
The Program Committee are currently seeking proposals to present Round Tables, Panel Sessions, Workshops, and/or Symposia to run during, or alongside, NACAA XXIX.
- Round Tables are an opportunity for a small group to sit around a table and discuss their specific interests. They could run for 30, 60, or 90 minutes.
- Panel Sessions have a group of speakers discussing a topic of more general interest, and offer an opportunity for interaction with a larger audience. They would typically run for one 90-minute session.
- Workshops are "hands-on". One or two presenters would pass on their expertise over one or more sessions.
- Symposia usually run for one or more days, before or after the main event.
