An Organized Symposium is a series of

aspects of a
single topic
or theme.
Symposia are
the scientific
centerpiece of
the meeting
and will run
concurrently
with other
technical
sessions. A
symposium can
consist of
invited
speakers only
or be open to
accepting
presentations
from the
general call
for abstracts,
which will
open in
November 2020.
Symposia
should use
15-minute
slots to
facilitate
switching
between
sessions.
Anyone
interested in
coordinating a
symposium for
the conference
will need to
submit a
proposal
online using
the link
below.
Proposals will
be evaluated
on timeliness
of the
subject,

the profession
and/or
contribution
to science,
and the
overall
quality of the
written
proposal.

Make
Plans Now to
Participate!
|
|
At
this time, we
are planning
to offer a
“Hybrid”
In-Person/Virtual
event! We are
working on
determining
exactly what
that will mean
and what
platform we
will use, so
stay tuned for
details this
fall. For now,
you can assume
that we will
hold a fully
in-person
event with
some
opportunities
for virtual
participation
(and
commensurate
registration
options). We
will be
well-positioned
to pivot to
fully virtual
if necessary.
New
This Year:
We will
consider
proposals for
organized
symposia and
workshops
offered in a
language other
than English
(e.g.
Spanish).
Please
indicate your
interest when
completing the
online form.
