Symposia Submissions


The Program symposia, Section symposia, and other symposia submission deadline was July 9, 2008.

However, the ESA has a mechanism for updating Annual Meeting attendees on very recent, yet important, entomological events: the Late Breaking Symposium. These are symposia that concern entomologically-significant event(s) that occurred since the symposium submission deadline. Examples would include: unusual insect outbreaks during the summer of 2008, highlights of the ICE last month, major regulatory changes introduced in the last few months.

The Program Co-Chairs will be accepting ideas for Late Breaking Symposia from now until October 15. Only a few such symposia would qualify for this status each year but they can be submitted by any ESA member or Section. Those interested in submitting a Late Breaking Symposium should submit directly to one of the Program Co-Chairs via email (Ric Bessin: rbessin@email.uky.edu; Grayson Brown: gcbrown147@gmail.com; or Douglas Johnson: djohnson@email.uky.edu). 

NOTE: The Late Breaking Symposium process is NOT to be used as a “back door” for folks who missed the original submission deadline. Submitters should understand that the Program Co-Chairs are the final authority for acceptance/rejection of these symposia.

Eligibility Requirements for All Contributors

1. All ESA members and non-members may give one invited (symposium) and one contributed presentation (oral ten-minute paper or poster) at the meeting.

2. Eligibility will be automatically determined at the time of submission, both for invited speakers and contributed speakers.

3. Individuals may be co-authors of any number of contributed papers or poster presentations.

4. All presenters must be registered for the Annual Meeting to participate.
