What are the meeting dates and overall schedule for the meeting?
Entomology 2024 will take place November 10-13 in Phoenix, Arizona. The Annual Meeting Program Committee is working to build an outstanding program. The program will feature four days of an in-person meeting, including symposia, interactive workshops, mixers and networking sessions, an Exhibit Hall, and more!
If I'm a student and wanting to present at Entomology 2024, do I have to participate in the student competition?
No. Students have the option to submit to the student competition or a non-competition student session.
After you login to the Entomology 2024 submission portal select "Click here to begin a new submission." After you enter your presentation title, select your preferred student program (i.e., Student 10-minute Paper or Student Poster) from the dropdown list.
You will be asked whether you want to participate in the student competition or in a non-competition student session. Simply select that you want to participate in a non-competition student session.
If you have already submitted your presentation but are unsure whether you submitted to the correct category, please refer to your submission confirmation email or select "Preview Submission" in your submission portal. Both items will state the name of the program to which you submitted. If you did not submit to the non-competition student session but intended to, please email meet@entsoc.org by May 31, 2024 to have your submission moved to the appropriate category. Submissions will not be accepted or moved to the student competition after May 31.
Note: All student competition submissions must be received by May 31. After that date, students cannot switch from non-competition sessions to the competition sessions.
I will be competing in the student competition. Where can I find the scoring criteria for this year’s competition?
You can find that information on the Student Presentation Opportunities webpage under Student Competition for the Presidents Prize.
Are there any volunteer opportunities this year?
Yes. The Program Committee is in need of volunteers to judge the student competition and moderate student competition, student non-competition, and regular 10-minute presentation sessions. Be sure to include your volunteer preferences when you register online for the meeting. Additional opportunities may be made available closer to the meeting, including those for students and early career professionals. Learn more.
