\begin{abstract}
Organizing this symposium was a tremendous learning process for all of
us. Here, we record the process we used, and the guidelines we'd follow
(or not!) if we were to do it all over again. We hope they're helpful to
junior scientists looking to organize meetings of any kind, but
especially those dealing with systemic issues affecting the research
enterprise. ~ The organizing tips are presented below in topical
``chunks'' arranged in the chronological order we found they first
required attention. However, most chunks have tasks that need to be
executed over a long time scale. To facilitate the management of this,
we assigned individual people to coordinate many of them. ~ If you'd
like to organize your own symposium on these topics, please feel free to
use whatever assets we have that may be useful to you. We would be
delighted to offer additional advice; please feel free to contact us at
info@futureofresearch.org. We'd love to help spread the word about your
meeting!%
