About
The 2026 Researchers Meeting will be held from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. MDT on Wednesday, June 17 and from 7:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. on Thursday, June 18 following the 51st Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop. The meeting schedule includes breakout sessions for paper presentations, roundtable discussions, and networking events. This meeting is open to all members of the hazards and disaster community.
Ways to contribute
Researchers from all disciplines will be invited to submit abstracts focused on any topic related to hazards and disasters. There are two ways to contribute to the Researchers Meeting:
- Present Your Research. In this format, speakers will have 10 to 12 minutes to share their research using PowerPoint slides, with an additional 3 to 5 minutes for audience Q&A. Presentations will be organized into concurrent sessions featuring 4 to 6 presentations on a common topic.
- Lead a Roundtable Discussion. Roundtables are discussion-based and will be centered around the topic that you describe in your submission. Rather than presenting scholarly research material, roundtable organizers will facilitate a dialogue with the audience on a key research-focused thematic area.
Registration
Registration for the Researchers Meeting can be added to the Natural Hazards Workshop registration or is available at a stand-alone rate.
