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. *We offer flexibility in the presentation length to customize symposium to fit a given topic (e.g., briefings and lightning talks in addition to regular presentations and panel discussions).* 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 2017. *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. Please note new format: Workshops will be half day in length, and will be offered on Tuesday, April 10th and Thursday, April 12th. *Submit a Proposal* All proposals must be submitted via the online form by Friday, October 13, 2017. - Symposium Abstract Submission From <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp%3ff%3d001n7tVF8ItkWQjGnDl37PNdHX-wu02buKm6xBh4sTNVAfziDqaRzV32gdnXXrEPBYQsM-XmGDfQzz-PkWJ38EI9MiAQYreCI7yPAWv9Qr8ZORY_WQ1xWwpkc55uwPzKYtcax9Eg7CnQ-4leG_ln7cZSC1yTwIKl57NnXR_g6ymtqMkaNuMJcj1d1QoCiaxnM2AzCTbdeA6GNwtyWzbEiJKBQ%3d%3d%26c%3dWFCfDcVyWb16Aoh0HJ3CkND3e8vmaQEQIgGAZhPz41rJR5QcYprm_Q%3d%3d%26ch%3dXNgCrH3crsyyKzGxKpf62wZ3_ru-H4miiCbHym05kWwW8178cZ_4CQ%3d%3d&c=E,1,HIpo0GGkTRFG1pLaHI4RH5AIj_QOucVn1HCqR3_tQQ8oWkbfjdJPv7v3s4YivHVVW3sLs26LhPtYZx4-yZjzcaEReIOv0VBxX-UnDOUbHC4h0d43Gdv_EsBoZg,,&typo=1> - Workshop Proposal Submission Form <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp%3ff%3d001n7tVF8ItkWQjGnDl37PNdHX-wu02buKm6xBh4sTNVAfziDqaRzV32gdnXXrEPBYQs3nHlfAmeG7vZDwrWZx8CZdYxwME8kJd5o-yjPGjSYo6lxUciHEFhOW5gcp6PEpI8gFzbZDY99jrpRP5y-jSlbQO7n2d50Esvoeu6emWnq0gIB1RojK1cM8XxSXkek_4fwyuLj9KzwBnzsRI3PMJ9w%3d%3d%26c%3dWFCfDcVyWb16Aoh0HJ3CkND3e8vmaQEQIgGAZhPz41rJR5QcYprm_Q%3d%3d%26ch%3dXNgCrH3crsyyKzGxKpf62wZ3_ru-H4miiCbHym05kWwW8178cZ_4CQ%3d%3d&c=E,1,h2H45y_CfFhsEURKRgzxvdXBPsWioCQl4PUNT82U4pMXuk0N4bz64tZ_1iH6BmnUmExZXYfFY5hlTHoDj6xTGOg2HGqlg3NJOD3BvDzrkNfErnUpFy-ibZji9Q,,&typo=1> *Save the Date!* The US-IALE 2018 Annual Meeting will be held April 8-12 in the vibrant city of Chicago, Illinois at the historic Palmer House Hilton <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp%3ff%3d001n7tVF8ItkWQjGnDl37PNdHX-wu02buKm6xBh4sTNVAfziDqaRzV32gdnXXrEPBYQTjJID3u2pMFd5BmJfwU_VaG9BcLUKWv4nvyWEHltR4XNy3xMCFvgmi3d0sE0jBdJKcvip4t5jG9DCIckoUEGwGGJxOgYf4BzeG2hy-36C_YWqUyvn-8tWCHb0lqrUm9TYWt2usedgL8%3d%26c%3dWFCfDcVyWb16Aoh0HJ3CkND3e8vmaQEQIgGAZhPz41rJR5QcYprm_Q%3d%3d%26ch%3dXNgCrH3crsyyKzGxKpf62wZ3_ru-H4miiCbHym05kWwW8178cZ_4CQ%3d%3d&c=E,1,g9t5gPqMlVrtbVQKQeB87UMbgmkvl5zfGg8X11bcBfPPnCCadVeXSq2m8iNlJK3AINcjiksqWyYVxUIkcnxB3vDImvyytNWz_WjJaA,,&typo=1>. Easily accessible to public transportation and a block from Grant Park and its attractions, the Palmer House was built out of love, burned to the ground in the Great Chicago Fire, rebuilt, and now newly renovated. Chicago straddles the massive ecological transition zone from the deciduous forests to the east and the oak woodland/tallgrass prairies to the west. The city also straddles the boundary between the two largest watersheds on the continent: the Mississippi River watershed and the Great Lakes watershed. As William Cronon described it, Chicago is "Nature's Metropolis", with its urban core tightly linked to the agricultural and natural ecosystems that expand beyond it. The scale of Chicago's ecological connections to water, food, and biodiversity will generate a truly unique, interdisciplinary conference. Planning is well under way for the 2018 Annual Meeting.
