Symposium Submissions
Overview
FIT’NG is now accepting submissions for symposium proposals from the FIT’NG community for symposia sessions at the 2025 conference.
Symposia Information
The symposium will be a 75-minute time slot and must have 4 speakers, each delivering a 15-minute presentation, with a 15-minute audience question period at the end.
Proposals will be evaluated by the 2025 Program Committee. Reviews will be based on the quality of the proposal and appropriateness for the FIT’NG community.
Submissions must focus on fetal, neonate, infant, toddler, or perinatal longitudinal scientific content on topics relevant to the FIT’NG community (empirical content, theory, or a mix of the two are welcome). Sessions should bring together speakers with diverse perspectives (e.g. from multiple institutions, a variety of career stages or backgrounds, multiple methodologies, etc.).
The deadline to submit your symposia abstract is April 22, 2025
