The Scientific Program Committee (SPC) values the input we receive from the membership, in particular the SOT Committees, Special Interest Groups, Specialty Sections, Regional Chapters, and Task Forces, with respect to the Annual Meeting Program. Therefore, please mark your calendar for Tuesday, March 11, 2014, to participate in a Best Practices Webinar from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm EDT. The SPC has continued this event based on the success of the Best Practices Webinars in the past three years.
We anticipate this webinar will continue and expand the dialogue; provide an overview of the submission, review, and decision process; and answer some of the frequently asked questions related to proposal submission. We are aware of the exciting opportunities as well as challenges for the proposal developers and would like to discuss how we can continue to improve this process and make our SOT activities even stronger.
We intend that this planned webinar will provide some insight into the SPC review process including proposal feedback, the distinction between tentative vs. final acceptance, and the endorsement (formerly “sponsorship”) process, and changes to the review process for front-line groups (, SIG/SS/RC/Committee/Task Force) for the 2015 Annual Meeting.
We hope that you’ll set aside some time to participate in this interactive session. Webinar specifics, including the dial-in details, will be sent to the presidential chain, or chairperson, of each SOT component group, committee, and task force. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact SOT Headquarters at 703.438.3115.
Please register for this event.,
