Minisymposia
Scientific sessions known as Minisymposia offer the most groundbreaking research representing each of the seven scientific meeting tracks at Cell Bio 2023. Top-scoring abstracts within each scientific track are scheduled into Minisymposium sessions. There are 28 total scientific Minisymposia and one Education Minisymposium.
Give a Talk in a Minisymposia
Abstract submission is required to speak in a Minisymposium session. All speakers will present live at the meeting in December, giving a 12-minute talk followed by a 3-minute Q&A. An abstract fee is required.
Minisymposia speakers are also required to register for the meeting. This fee is separate from the abstract fee.
Learn more about abstract submission for Minisymposia talks.
Abstract Submission opens early June and closes August 1.

Congratulations to the 2023 Minisymposia Co-Chairs!
Minisymposium Co-Chairs are responsible for scoring submitted abstracts, selecting talks for Minisymposia sessions from top-scoring abstracts, and introducing the speakers on the day of the Minisymposium. Please note co-chairs, or members of their labs, are only eligible to present a talk within their Minisymposium if they are in the top-scoring abstracts after the concealed review. There is not a reserved or guaranteed speaking slot for co-chairs, or members of their lab.
A minimum of four (4) and a maximum of ten (20) Minisymposium Co-Chairs will be selected per scientific meeting track, depending on the popularity of the track.
Minisymposium Co-Chairs will:
- Read and score up to 150 abstracts submitted to their scientific track. The abstracts will have author information concealed to reduce bias in scoring. The review period will take place between August 4 and August 18.
- Create a specified number of Minisymposia sessions, varying from two to 10 sessions depending on the track. Each Minisymposium session will consist of six (6) talks selected from top-scoring abstracts.
- Chair the session at Cell Bio 2022 in Washington, DC. Two Co-Chairs will work together to introduce the speakers in each Minisymposium, keep speakers on time, and moderate the live Q&A following each talk.
Diversity and Inclusion
ASCB is committed to ensuring that a diversified and inclusive program is presented to our attendees. Minisymposia Co-Chairs will be required to ensure talks selected are from presenters with diverse ethnic backgrounds, gender, research backgrounds, career-levels, geographic location.
