Call for Mini-Symposium Proposals

We are accepting submissions of mini-symposia proposals. Please follow the SIAM guidelines for preparing a mini-symposium proposal. Each oral presentation will be 25 minutes long with 5 minutes Q&A.

Submission of Mini-Symposium Proposals
(Deadline EXTENDED: August 25, 2023)

Mini-symposia will consist of up to 3 sessions. Each session will consist of 4 talks. You may propose between 1 session (up to 4 talks), 2 sessions (up to 8 talks), up to a maximum of 3 sessions (up to 12 talks). We recommend selecting 1 or 2 sessions. Note that a single participant may give at most 2 talks in 2 different mini-symposia.

Please use 'Mini-symposium proposal submission (name of main contact organizer)' as the subject line and fill in the following six curly brackets in the body of the email.

\title{Proposed title of your mini-symposium} \organizers{Name1 (Affiliation1) and Name2 (affiliation2) and Name3 (affiliation3)} \email{Only one email address of the main contact organizer is needed} \abstract{Provide a brief (1 paragraph) description of the mini symposium} \speakers{Provide a list of tentative/preliminary speakers (if available). Use the same format as under organizers} \session{1, 2, or 3} \remarks{Please use this item to indicate how many speakers you have contacted and how many tentative confirmations you have obtained. Also indicate (if any) any date-constraints or preferences on the block schedule of your minisymposium.}

Standard LaTeX commands (but no custom macros) must be used in these fields.

Before submitting your proposal, we encourage you to contact the potential speakers on your list and obtain (if possible) tentative confirmations as well as date preferences/constraints from them. We understand that many speakers cannot make final decisions before the exact block schedule of the minisymposium is available. However, it is important to have an estimate on the number of confirmed speakers and obtain the date preferences or constraints from the speakers before we schedule the minisymposium.

Please submit your proposal to siamtxla2023@louisiana.edu before the deadline: August 25, 2023.

If you are interested in presenting a talk but do not have an invitation for a Mini-Symposium, please find a mini-symposium that aligns with your topic and contact the relevant organizers to inquire about available slots. Alternately, email the information using the standard format to siamtxla2023@louisiana.edu

Call for Poster Submissions

We are accepting submissions of contributed poster presentations. More information on the Submissions tab. The deadline for the submission of the meta information for your poster is 11:59 PM CST, September 15, 2023.

Mentoring Program

We will host a mentoring event during one of the breaks on Saturday. During this event a mentor (senior researcher) will meet with a Protégé (undergraduate or graduate student) and will answer career related questions. We will match the mentors and protégé based on multiple factors, e.g., research area, career stage, and general interests. The deadline to apply to the mentoring program is 11:59 PM CST, October 6, 2023. We will contact each matched mentor and protégé two weeks prior to the event in order for each to be able to learn about the others' research interests, stage of academic career, and what they wish to discuss with their mentors.

Application for the mentor program (either as mentor or protégé ).
