Symposium proposals should present a general summary of the proposed symposium, including a brief description of how each presenter will offer a unique perspective
to the proposed topic (maximum 250 words). In addition, please include an individual abstract for each of the four presenters, as specified in the call for papers.
Symposia format:

Maximum of 4 presenters per session.

Approximately 10 minutes per presentation.

Symposia presenters should interact and coordinate their session before the Conference.
