When Submitting an Abstract:
Author Designation Information: The Submitting Author is the Presenting Author and listed as the First Author for all abstracts. The contact information of the submitter of the abstract will automatically populate the submission information for the Presenting Author and First Author fields. All correspondence and registration information for the abstract will be directed to the Submitting Author only. The Submitting Author is responsible for making sure that their contact information is current during the submission process.
Authors should carefully consider the designation of the Submitting/Presenting/First Author before initiating the abstract submission process. Each Submitting Author will be asked to provide a username and password to sign-on to the Abstract Submission Site. If you do not have a username/password or have forgotten the information, instructions are provided on the submission site to assist you. The Submitting Author's information will pre-populate as the Presenting Author and First Author information fields upon signing into the submission site.
Registration: The Presenting Author (Submitting Author) is required to register for Scientific Sessions at the reduced registration fee. Expenses associated with the submission and presentation of an abstract are the responsibility of the presenter. Only one author per abstract is considered the presenter. Co-Author(s) listed on the abstract do not receive reduced rates towards registration. For more information, please review the Presenter Registration Information page, which will be released in January, for details.
Embargo Policy: Accepted abstracts are embargoed until the morning of the presentation. This means that information regarding any abstract submission may not be released before this time. Failure to honor embargo policies will result in the abstract being withdrawn and barred from presentation.
