Call for Symposia & Workshop Proposals
DEADLINE: Monday, October 5
Symposia
An Organized Symposium is a series of integrated presentations that address 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, importance to the profession and/or contribution to science, and the overall quality of the written proposal.​

Responsibilities of Symposia Organizers: Organizers are responsible for coordinating with the Program Committee, planning their sessions, selecting instructors/presenters, moderating their sessions, and meeting all deadlines. US-IALE does not pay registration fees, travel expenses, or honoraria for symposium organizers or presenters. All organizers and invited speakers must register for the conference.

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT: Monday, October 5, 2020
Workshops
Workshops provide training on a specific skill, technique, or process and may involve one or more instructors. Workshops are intended to emphasize learning through participation, discussion, and "hands-on" activities. Attendance at workshops is by advance registration only, and a fee will be charged. Workshops will be half day in length, and will be offered on Tuesday, April 13 and Thursday, April 15.
Responsibilities of Workshop Organizers: Organizers are responsible for coordinating with the Program Committee, planning their workshop agenda, selecting instructors/presenters, moderating their session, and adhering to all deadlines. A workshop fee will be charged to attendees in order to cover expenses associated with audio-visual equipment costs, any food & beverage or other facility fees. US-IALE does not pay registration fees, travel expenses, or honoraria for workshop organizers or presenters. All organizers and invited speakers must register for the conference.

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT: Monday, October 5, 2020
Make Plans Now to Participate!
Save the Date! The IALE-North America 2021 Annual Meeting will be held April 11-15 at the Silver Legacy Resort in Reno, Nevada, USA.

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.

We look forward to hosting you in Reno, Nevada in April 2021!
