Propose a symposium for the 2019 User Meeting

Have a good idea for a User Meeting symposium in 2019? We want to hear it!

Submit your ideas here by January 28, 2019

You don’t have to volunteer to organize the session, but that is encouraged. Symposia are typically half-day sessions with six to ten speakers, though there’s a fair amount of flexibility in that model.

For reference, here are symposium titles from the past three years:

2018
