Additional Information
Minisymposia
A minisymposium generally consists of four 25-minute presentations, with an additional five minutes for discussion after each presentation. To ensure balance, SIAM prefers a single individual not be the organizer or co-organizer of more than one minisymposium, however, organizers can submit up to three (3) parts per minisymposium, allowing up to twelve (12) speakers. In addition, SIAM discourages minisymposia in which most of the speakers or co-authors come from the same institution.
A minisymposium comprised of multiple parts (up to 3) will be counted as a SINGLE minisymposium.
SIAM also requests speakers submit only one oral presentation, either a minisymposium presentation or contributed lecture. Minisymposium session organizers and individual speakers are equally responsible for ensuring participants adhere to the one talk per person rule.
It is recommended the first speaker provide an overview of the topic area. Each minisymposium speaker should submit an abstract no longer than 1,500 characters, including spaces. The organizing committee will referee minisymposium proposals. The number of minisymposia may be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in sessions.
Please visit the Guidelines for Preparing a Minisymposium Proposal.
SIAM requires minisymposium organizers propose sessions with a minimum of three (3) confirmed speakers by the minisymposium submission deadline. Sessions submitted with a majority of speakers listed as “TBD/TBA,” or using placeholders, risk immediate rejection.
Prospective minisymposium organizers must submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not to exceed 1,500 characters, including spaces), a list of speakers, and presentation titles using the Conference Management System.
Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals: January 13, 2021DEADLINE EXTENDED to February 3, 2021
Deadline for submission of minisymposium speaker abstracts: February 3, 2021 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Time)

SIAM also requests speakers submit only one oral presentation, either a minisymposium presentation or contributed lecture.
Poster presentations are not being solicited for this conference.
