What is the difference between a Symposium/Special Topic abstract and a Paper/Poster abstract?
Symposium/Special Topic abstracts are sessions with a particular focus that can include one or multiple speakers. Submissions include a synopsis, which provides an overview of the session, and an abstract for each speaker suggested. Paper/Poster abstracts are intended to be presented by one person, either as a poster or as an oral presentation (you may indicate your preference during the submission process, but the decision on the format rests with the Program Committee).
