Special sessions and panel discussions are a valuable contribution to SEDAAG and a way to build professional networks as well as cast light on cutting-edge themes, theories, and methods. Organizers of special sessions or panels should adhere to the following additional guidelines:

Special session and panel plans (see next paragraph) should be submitted by Friday, September 13, 2023, and the abstracts to be submitted online by authors on Friday, September 13, 2023. This earlier date will give the program committee adequate time to read special session and panel plans and address any questions.

Time and space constraints dictate that a special poster session should have a minimum of four papers, but ideally five papers.
