ISES will establish a contractual arrangement with an organizing contractor (on a single-year or multi-year basis).

The Annual Meeting Contractor shall be responsible for virtually all activities, except for technical elements (such as review/acceptance of abstracts and final decisions on session organization and chairs, etc.). Major decisions shall require the approval of the Chair of the TOC or others, as specified in the contract (e.g., contract with meeting hotels, selection of social events, abstract book). The contract scope of work has a complete listing of responsibilities (the details are NOT repeated here).
