5th National IPM Symposium On-line Program Proposal Submission

Call for Program Proposals for the 5th National IPM Symposium

"Delivering on a Promise" is the theme of the 5th National IPM Symposium that will be held April 4-6, 2006 in St. Louis, Missouri. The symposium will open and conclude with sessions focusing on the promise of IPM. The program format will include mini-symposia, workshops, round table discussions and poster sessions.

Mini-symposia should have a broad interest with estimated audiences of 150-200 individuals. Workshop sessions will be more focused with estimated audiences of 25-75 individuals. Roundtable discussions will likely be very topic specific attracting 15-25 individuals. Mini-symposia, workshops and roundtable discussions will each be approximately two hours in duration.

The number of each type of session will be limited, as will the number of accepted posters due to space issues. The program planning committee will review all proposals and try to accommodate as many proposals as possible. Support funds are limited and preference will be given to speakers who would not normally attend the event. Session proposals must be submitted on-line through this web site by April 15, 2005.

A list of potential session topics is included below, but other topic suggestions are welcome. If you have questions regarding the format or development of the program, please contact Margaret Appleby (margaret.appleby@omaf.gov.on.ca or 613-475-5850) or Susan Ratcliffe (sratclif@uiuc.edu or 217-333-9656).
