Symposia and Minisymposia

Participants are welcome to organize symposia or minisymposia on an appropriate topic within DD.LAC.2016. A minisymposium has one or two sessions, while a symposium has more than two sessions. Each session consists of three 25-minute presentations, each followed by an additional five minutes for discussions.

Prospective minisymposium or symposium organizers can submit a proposal with a title, a list of speakers, and the titles of the individual presentations to our meeting email at CONTACT.
