Purpose & Topics
The Fall Symposium format gives everyone the opportunity to learn and share collectively and collaboratively.
Each day will begin with a general session that no scholarly publishing professional will want to miss. Attendees will then choose a topic to focus on in the Didactic and Workgroup sessions. Didactic speakers will discuss their approach to the topic, highlighting challenges and opportunities to set the stage, then attendees can delve further into the topics in Workgroup discussions. By the end of the day, participants will walk away with actionable, implementable strategies and tactics to take back to their organizations.
