Click Here to Submit a Proposal for an Organized Symposium!

Deadline to Submit: July 31, 2013

Please make sure you understand the following requirements and can assume the following responsibilities before you submit a symposium.

Requirements for invited symposia:
• Must be on a specific topic not already covered by the general paper categories 
• Must be of interest to a significant portion of the AMCA membership
• Must be a minimum of 90 minutes long and a maximum of 210 minutes long. (Special permission for a longer symposium may be granted depending on the topic)
• Speakers should already have agreed to participate. (This ensures that the symposium is actually ready to take place, as opposed to suggesting a topic and trying to find speakers after the fact.)

Responsibilities of an invited symposium organizer:
• After approval, relay instructions to speakers on how to submit their abstracts, or submit all of the abstracts him/herself
• Follow up with speakers as needed and communicate with speakers leading up to the meeting to prepare them for participation
• Ensure that all speakers submit a PowerPoint presentation by the posted deadline
• Moderate the symposium onsite and KEEP SPEAKERS ON TIME (or identify a moderator to take on this role)
