Abstract Submission
All abstracts are to be submitted to this site via the Abstract Submission link on this menu. Note that the earlier you submit your abstract, the sooner you will receive confirmation of its acceptance status. Our goal is to assess submitted abstracts within a few days, and authors will be advised within one week of their acceptance or otherwise. However, if you need to know your programmed presentation time prior to its publication because of travel arrangements or conflicts, please email and you will be advised quickly.
If your preferred oral presentation is to be changed
to a poster presentation because of time restraints in the program, you will
be advised by email after submission and review of your abstract.
The most up-to-date Conference Program will be posted to this web site as available. As the conference draws closer, please check the program for your presentation time.
