Dear friends,
Yes, the most important deadlines are upon us:
The deadline of Jan. 15 is for those speakers without any affiliation to a panel as of yet, i.e. those whom the Program Committee will be placing in a panel. 
If you are part of a pre-organized panel, your panel organizer must submit all panelists' abstracts by the Jan. 31 deadline. 
See mgsasymposium.org and also below for further information.
Best,
Gonda
