Annual Meeting
US-IALE 27th Annual Symposium
April 8-12, 2012
Newport, Rhode Island
Informing Decisions in a Changing World
Call for Symposium Proposals (Due Date Friday October 21, 2011):
Submissions of symposia proposals for the US-IALE 27th Annual Symposium
are now being accepted through Friday, October 21, 2011. Symposium
proposals should include the following information:
1) Title;
2) Objective, include relevance to meeting theme (<200 words);
3) Format (e.g., discussion, forum, clinic, debate, etc.); and
4) Proposed schedule (e.g., list of speakers, order, and the length of
each talk (including questions)).
To submit your proposal, send the requested information to the Program
Committee at the symposia email address: usiale.symposium<at>gmail.com.
Once the symposium is accepted, each speaker will be required to submit
an abstract following the procedure for regular abstracts (which will be
due mid-late December 2011).
Following changes introduced last year at the Portland, OR meeting, we
will accept symposium proposals which include unfilled presentation
slots. These slots will be filled with relevant presentations from the
pool of regular submissions. The Program Committee will consult with the
symposium organizer to identify appropriate talks. Please note in your
submission if you are willing to accept presentations from the pool of
regular submissions.
Additionally, there is no standard format for symposia, leaving the
structure of symposia to the discretion (and imagination) of symposia
organizers.
All presenters, whether presenting in a symposium, oral or poster
session, must register by the early registration deadline or their
presentations may be dropped from the program. The early registration
deadline will be in early February, 2012.
Again, to submit a symposium proposal or if you have any questions,
please contact the Program Committee at usiale.symposium<at>gmail.com..

and meeting website (coming soon!).
