    Submit an Abstract

    The online abstract submitter will close April 11 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

    Paper/poster abstract status (accepted or rejected) will be sent by email to Submitting Authors by the middle of July. Final schedules, with date and time for scheduled in-person presentations, will be emailed to the Presenting Author by the end of July.

    Scientific research submitted as a paper/poster benefits from these opportunities:

    • Expanded original paper presentations with panel discussions that include the opportunity for questions and answers with the authors.
    • Moderated Poster Theater and small-group Poster Discussions allowing for an interactive presentation of your work.
    • Easy online access to all accepted posters during the meeting through the Mobile Meeting Guide, and after the meeting through the online Meeting Archive.

    Note: All posters are electronic. There are no physical posters. Additionally, some posters will be scheduled as a live presentation session.
