Abstracts
Who Can Submit An Abstract ?
You must be a lead or co-author to submit an abstract.
How do I submit an abstract?
There are two ways to submit an abstract for the meeting:
1. Register for the meeting first, then submit an abstract (preferred option)
Our preference is that delegates register and pay for a delegate pass before submitting an abstract. Once registered, a link to submit your abstract will be included in your registration confirmation email.
You can upload your abstract up until 23:59 on Tuesday 31 March.
2. Submit an abstract without registering
This option is available for delegates whose funding depends on abstract acceptance.
You can upload your abstract up until 23:59 on Tuesday 31 March.
Important: Regardless of which submission route is used, all abstract submitters must be registered for the meeting in order to present their work, including after an abstract has been accepted.
