Please keep in mind that we receive a number of quality submissions each year, and not all abstracts can necessarily be accepted for presentation.  When your abstract is accepted for presentation, you are required to submit a paper for the conference proceedings prior to presenting.  This submission deadline is one week before the conference.  

Presentation slots are 30 minutes total.  There are a few 60-minute time slots available.  Q&A after presentations will be exclusively on the Whova app; however, we encourage all presenters to be available for questions throughout the remainder of the conference.   Details on your presentation will be emailed to you if you are selected as a presenter.

Deadline for submission: October 1, 2026

Authors notified no later than: October 31, 2026
