Session Proposal Submission

Town Halls are intended for federal agencies, national observatories, and major current and future missions and facilities to present policy information and to solicit feedback from their user communities.

Special Sessions are intended for observatories, missions, and facilities to present and discuss scientific results and plans, and for discussion of education and state-of-the-profession topics. They typically feature multiple speakers.

Workshops are focused meetings, typically with a small group of invited participants, usually on an educational, programmatic, or career topic. Workshops are typically collaborative and interactive.

A Meeting-in-a-Meeting provides an opportunity at summer meetings for extended discussion of current space missions and ground-based facilities, or of science topics of current interest. It comprises a coordinated set of sessions covering a single overall theme.

Splinter Meetings are science or programmatic meetings that do not fit the definition of Special Session (e.g., longer than 90 minutes, or with a by-invitation audience). Proposers should consider whether a weekend Workshop, or a summer Meeting-in-a-Meeting might meet their objectives.
