Please also note that the SSEA is soliciting proposals for the Scholars’ Colloquium only.

Beginning in 2018, the fee previously applied only to attendance at the Saturday Symposium will be applied to the whole weekend. This means that all participants in the Scholars’ Colloquium will be expected to pay the appropriate registration fee in advance.
