Your submission should be in the form of text, no more than 300 words long. If your abstract is accepted, it will be included in the conference app with abstract and program information.
All abstracts will be reviewed by the Committee to ensure that the topic of the submission is consistent with the scope of the topics covered at the meeting.
A condition of submission is that, if accepted, at least one of the authors must register for and present at the conference.
You can submit as many abstracts to the conference for review as you would like. If, after the review by the committee, you have more than one paper accepted for the conference, you will need to register to attend and pay an additional paper fee for each additional paper (i.e., for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th papers – not the 1st). Please note this is for papers that you are the presenting author of, not papers that you are co-author of.
Successfully submitted abstracts will be acknowledged with an electronic receipt including an abstract reference number, which should be quoted in all correspondence. Allow at least 2 hours for your receipt to be returned to you. Please check spam/junk folders as this may sometimes get filtered there.
For revisions or queries regarding papers already submitted
If you do not receive acknowledgement for your abstract submission, DO NOT RESUBMIT your abstract, as this may lead to duplication.
Please email queries to the Conference Content Executive (do not email credit card information under any circumstances). Quote your reference number if you have one.
