The Mini-Symposium Proposal Submission is now open for presentation at the 2025 SRI Annual Scientific Meeting. You must be a current SRI Member to submit a proposal. To renew your membership dues or submit an application please click here.
The symposia mission is to provide an international forum for scientific exchange, highlighting cutting edge topics in basic, translational, and clinical research in reproductive science that reflect the collective depth and breadth of scientific endeavor within SRI.
We highly encourage proposals that address the meeting theme, Diversity Drives Innovation.
When considering speakers, SRI encourages diversity in all aspects including, but not limited to gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, social/economic background, country of origin or working environment, and physical or psychological ability.
GUIDELINES:
- Each symposium will be two hours in duration
- Total of four speakers, with one potentially serving as a moderator of the symposium, if they have not served in this capacity in the past three years
- When suggesting speakers, please consider appropriate representation of gender, geographical spread, stage of career and EDI. Speakers must not be at the same institution.
- For budgetary reasons, non-members must be limited to 2 per submission. If you are unsure if someone is a member, please contact info@sri-online.org.
- In addition, suggested speakers should not have given an oral presentation in a Mini-Symposium at the SRI annual meeting within the past 3 years. Agendas for the last 3+ meetings can be found below:
New for the 2025 meeting to encourage more member involvement, SRI is offering two types of submissions. You may propose either 1) a Mini-Symposium Topic/Title alone, or 2) a developed Mini-Symposium proposal.
1. Suggest a Mini-Symposium Topic and/or Title
OR
2. Suggest a developed Mini-Symposium proposal
You will be asked the following during the mini-symposium proposal submission
- Name and contact information of person proposing the Mini-Symposium
- A description of the symposium that will allow the Program Committee to understand the content, scope and objectives. This will include:
- Full name, title, and contact information for each speaker

- Balance of Gender
- Balance of North America and International speakers

Submission of a proposal indicates agreement to the following:
- Should the symposium be accepted, the SRI Program Committee reserves the right to modify the proposed topic, title, proposed moderators and proposed speakers. This is to assure a balanced and diverse program.
- SRI is a small organization of dedicated colleagues, and we regret that we are unable to offer any speaker honoraria.
You are able to log back into the form to complete the information previously started. You will receive an email confirmation once complete.

Alternatively, if there is an area that you would like to see covered by others, please forward that suggestion directly to SRI Meetings Manager, Jamie Brouws (she/her) at jbrouws@sri-online.org.
