We are now accepting proposals for Invited Symposia and Organized Contributed sessions.
A few things the Pittcon Program Committee are looking for as we review submissions include:
► A diversity of voices on the speaker list (industry, government, academia, entrepreneurs, experienced scientists, rising scientists, gender and racial and ethnic diversity, etc.)
► Emphasis on fundamental and/or applied research and not a sales pitch.
The session descriptions that more strongly make the case in these three areas will have the best chance for a high-profile spot in the technical program.

What to Know Before Submitting
• Organizer and optional co-organizer information
• Type of proposal: Symposia or Organized Contributed?
• Short bio and headshot for promotion of the session
• Working title for the session (can be updated later)
• Track, application, and methodology associated with the session
• 2,000 character outline of the session
• Names and contact information of the speakers you are suggesting (This list can be altered if the session is accepted.)
Session Types
• Symposium
Highly competitive with limited openings in the technical program. Symposia speakers will receive the highest level of recognition and reimbursement available for non-awardee Pittcon invited speakers. These sessions consist of 4 invited speakers as chosen by an organizer.
• Organized Contributed
Second tier of the technical program. Still very competitive with up to 7 speakers as chosen by the organizer. Speakers are asked to limit their talks to 20 minutes unless otherwise decided by the Program Committee.
