The 29TH MGSA SYMPOSIUM
October 15-18, 2026 · University of Illinois Chicago, Chicago, IL
Symposium Presenter Acceptance Agreement
I hereby confirm my participation as a presenter in the 2026 Symposium. I understand that, in order for my presentation to be included in the Symposium Program, I need to be an MGSA member and also need to pre-register for the Symposium by the June 1, 2026 deadline. By the stated deadline, I will also inform the MGSA via email of my audiovisual needs, only if these exceed the standard computer and screen projection equipment.
I understand that, if my membership dues and pre-registration fees have not been received by the June 1 deadline, the Program Committee cannot add my name and presentation to the MGSA Symposium program. Also, refunds cannot be issued in case of cancellation after the pre-registration deadline. Presenters are expected to cover their own expenses.

On that page you will also find the link to pre-register for the symposium. This form will be open to you starting April 1st. Pre-registration for conference speakers ends on June 1, 2026. You will need to register by that date; after June 1, refunds will not be issued in case of cancellation.
