VSS is seeking proposals for satellite sessions prior to the start of this
year's meeting, on Friday, May 6th. This could be in the format of a workshop, tutorial, symposium, users group or any other scientific/technical format. We encourage proposals from younger investigators.
We envision the approval of 3 parallel sessions for this purpose as the
North Ballroom can be sub-divided into smaller meeting rooms. Significant VSS member attendance is likely as this time period comes on the afternoon before the Friday evening poster session and
reception.
Interested members and groups should submit in writing to vision-sciences.org a proposal, not more than two pages, listing title, names and affiliations of the organizer(s) and speakers (email addresses and telephone numbers), and description of the workshop for publicity purposes (Deadline January 12, 2005).
Prospective organizers should cc all of their program participants in
their submission to assure VSS that all accept this commitment. On a separate page, please provide a description of your VSS target audience, how they might benefit from this event and an estimate as to the number of members that might attend. Acceptance of the proposal will rest with the Executive Committee of VSS and the events chosen will be publicized as soon as possible, giving maximum time for VSS attendees to make appropriate travel plans.
