All Symposium presentations should be made in-person. Proposals for virtual presentations will not be considered. The submission process is simple using our online form.
This call is for organized sessions, not for individual presentations (excepting students and early career scientists). Individual presenters are encouraged to consider submitting poster presentations.
Students and early career scientists (in the first 3 years of employment) can submit an individual presentation request or participate as part of an organized sessions. The event will include dedicated sessions for students and early career scientists, and you will be able to indicate that status in the online form. Applications for funding to support travel and lodging costs is pursuant on available grant funds and the availability can only be determined closer to the event.
The committee may suggest that submitters of similar proposals work together to consolidate proposals. Accepted symposium sessions will be divided into tracks based on general fields of work (agriculture, aquaculture & fisheries, horticulture, specialty crops, turf & sod, row & field crops; forestry and natural landscapes; public health, medical & veterinary; and built environment & structural, and landscape).
