IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

We have been experiencing some technology challenges with our email forwarding system. If you wish to submit an abstract, please use this direct link rather than the email contact to ensure we receive it.

Our Vice President will send you an email confirmation receipt when your abstract is received. If you have not or do not get a confirmation, we have not received it.
