Will your symposium...

Align and support the theme “Connect Your Science, Expand Your Net”?

Program Symposia

Serve the interests of one of ESA’s Sections (FIT, MUVE, PBT, P-IE, SysEB) by appealing to entomologists in those areas?

Section Symposia

Deadline: March 1

Member Symposia

Deadline: March 1

Submission Tips

  • Plan to invite a diversity of speakers from a variety of different Sections, localities, career paths, and backgrounds.
  • A submission with at least some committed speakers is stronger than one with none.
  • If you submit a Program or Section Symposium and it is rejected from that category, it will automatically be considered for Member Symposia
