General Information

  • How to Participate

    Individuals should limit themselves to presenting one (1) minisymposium talk. The Organizing Committee Co-Chairs will allow individuals presenting a minisymposium talk to also present one (1) contributed talk.

     

    Invited plenary speakers can give a minisymposium or contributed talk in addition to their invited presentation.

     

    A poster may be presented in addition to a talk, provided the talk and the poster are on different topics. All submissions are subject to review and final approval by the Co-Chairs.

     

    You are invited to contribute a presentation in one of the formats listed below.

  • Acceptance Notification

    Authors will be notified by email in February 2025.

  • Speaker Cancellation

    The Organizing Committee expects every speaker in a scheduled presentation to register and attend. 
     
    If it becomes necessary for a speaker to cancel a presentation, they should try to find an alternate presenter immediately, preferably a co-author. See SIAM Policy on Substitute Speakers and Remote Presentations. Contact SIAM immediately with any change to a scheduled presentation. 
     
    A “no-show” or cancelled presentation can cause serious inconvenience to the attendees and organizers. The committee thanks all speakers in advance for their compliance to this request.

Submission Formats

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 four (4) parts per minisymposium, allowing up to sixteen (16) 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 will be counted as a SINGLE minisymposium.

Individuals should limit themselves to presenting one (1) minisymposium talk. Minisymposium session organizers and individual speakers are equally responsible for ensuring participants adhere to the one (1) minisymposium 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 may be rejected.

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: December 9, 2024 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Time)
Deadline for submission of minisymposium speaker abstracts: January 6, 2025 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Time)

Contributed Presentations in Lecture or Poster Format

Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format are invited in all areas consistent with the themes. A lecture format is generally a 15-minute oral presentation with an additional five (5) minutes for discussion. Talk lengths will be determined by the co-chairs at the close of submissions.

Individuals should limit themselves to a maximum of one (1) contributed lecture and one (1) contributed poster. A poster may be presented in addition to a talk, provided the talk and the poster are on different topics.

A poster format involves the use of non-electronic visual aids for mounting on a 4’ x 8’ poster board. A poster session is typically two hours long. Each contributor, either for a lecture or a poster, must submit a title and a brief abstract not to exceed 1,500 characters, including spaces.

Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format must be submitted using the Conference Management System (CMS).

Deadline for submission of contributed abstracts: January 6, 2025 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Time)
