The American College of Clinical Pharmacology invites proposals for Annual Meeting Symposia and Pre-meeting Workshops to be presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting, September 23 – 25, 2018 at the Bethesda N Marriott Hotel & Conf Ctr, N Bethesda, MD.
Session Proposals
The Annual Meeting provides both Pre-meeting Workshop sessions and Symposium sessions. Workshop proposals can be submitted as either a half (3.5 hours) or full day. Proposals for Symposia are defined as short sessions (90-120 minutes) or half-day (3.5 hours). Proposals must include all of the information as noted in the Activity Proposal Form. Proposals will be reviewed for merit by the 2018 Annual Meeting Program Committee. Proposals that are incomplete and/or do not meet these guidelines will not be reviewed or accepted.
Session Chair Responsibilities
Once a proposal is accepted, the session Chair is responsible for final confirmation of the Faculty/Speaker roster, communicating session goals and expectations to Faculty and working with ACCP Staff to ensure that the event meets all ACCP Faculty Requirements.
Basic audiovisual support will be provided (LCD projector/screen, podium with microphone, laser pointer and laptop and a head table with chairs). Additional audiovisual support may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
