Symposium abstract guidelines

The symposium chair/convener must submit the symposium title, summary, chair and discussant information using the online submission system. The chair then instructs the proposed speakers to submit individual abstracts online, linking the speaker abstracts to the symposium title. For more information, see the instruction sheet. The abstracts for each individual symposium will be reviewed as a group, and each symposium will be accepted or not in its entirety. The symposium chair is responsible for communicating conference information to individual speakers.
