Frequently Asked Questions for Late-Breaking Government Symposia

What is a late-breaking government symposium?

Due to the US federal government shutdown and the inability of federal employees to access email and work during this time, ESA is providing all US federal employees an extended opportunity to submit a symposium proposal for the Annual Meeting program. To be eligible to submit to this program, a minimum of one organizer must be a US federal government employee.
