2021 ESIP Winter Meeting Session Proposal Form
Please fill out the following form to propose a session for the 2021 ESIP Winter Meeting, to be held virtually (January 26th-28th, 2021).  Session proposals will be accepted until COB on Thursday November 5th, 2020.

Submitted sessions will be reviewed based on the quality and completeness of the proposal, as well as relevance to ESIP areas of interest and to the 2021 year theme (Leading Innovations in Earth Science Data Frontiers). For this reason, please provide as complete a session proposal as you can, including speaker names. Submission of a session proposal does not guarantee that the session will be accepted. If accepted, your responses will also aid in session scheduling, including avoiding session conflicts as much as possible.

*Please note*: For this meeting, we are limiting all sessions to 90-minute time blocks. We encourage session leaders to concentrate on designing high-quality 90-minute sessions and and, if desired, to plan subsequent content to be held in a related collaboration area telecon during the month of February.
