Abstract Submittal Guidelines

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1. Abstracts may be submitted only via the Pheedloop Online Abstract Submittal Portal.
2. Abstracts are limited to 1500 characters. Note – we will also ask you to summarize the purpose of your abstract in one to two sentences. This will not factor into your 1500 character limit.
3. Consideration is given to originality, work status, technical content, relevance, benefits and significance, and overall abstract quality.
4. Only one abstract will be accepted per speaker.
5. Authors/co-authors should not be included within the abstract body as this information can be provided after the online abstract submittal process. 
6. Abstracts cannot include any graphics, illustrations, pictures, or hyperlinks.

In case of any unforeseen circumstance, it will be the responsibility of the selected speaker to notify the Technical Program Committee (Sam McAdoo and/or Dana Hargrove) AND provide an alternate/replacement speaker no later than two weeks prior to the conference. If no replacement speaker is identified, then an alternate paper will be selected. An alternate/replacement speaker cannot speak more than once.
