session
I would rather go for session because in congresses, they tend to use terms like "parallel sessions". At least, that's the term they used in the last congress I attended ;-)
not sure thematic session would do here.
Hope it helps!

: themed session - in the 2nd link it explains this is what a symposium is;-)www.lagb.org.uk/circulars/2005_2camcall.pdf http://education-conferences.org/callforcontributions.aspx

Melissa McMahon
: the term 'themed' session is common in conference context - 'symposium' is ambiguous, as it's often a stand-alone event

thematic topic session
I found this to back my suggestion, although both terms do sound a little redundant. I think session is best as symposium & conference sound all encompassing & here it is a single presentation.

How to propose a Thematic Topic session for the Annual Meeting
The BES has established special thematic topics into the programme for the Annual Meeting. These thematic topics aim to provide a forum for the discussion of timely and/or important questions, occasionally to provide local 'flavour' within the programme, and to encourage integration between disciplines.
Each session contains a 40 minute presentation by the principal speaker nominated by the topic coordinator. Each topic is allocated £1,000 to help with speaker expenses. In many cases, this enables international keynote speakers to be invited. The coordinator is also expected to solicit other papers for the topic, but delegates will also be free to submit unsolicited abstracts for the topics. Coordinators are responsible for deciding on which presentations should be included in the thematic topic session, ordering the presentations within the topic, ensuring speakers submit their abstracts, ensuring speakers book for the meeting and also for chairing the session

Discussion
This paper actually has another title, a"titre courant," which I assume would be a "working title?"
