Propose a symposium for the 2021 AUM (closed)

The UEC is seeking symposium proposals for the User Meeting in 2021.

Symposia will be 2.5 hours long, taking place in virtual format on August 20, 2021. Symposia are organized by Foundry users and staff, with approximately four to seven speakers. Symposium speakers receive free registration.

Submit your ideas here by February 7, 2021

For reference, here are symposium titles from past years:
