Guidelines for Submission

To submit your abstract please prepare to upload your abstract as a Microsoft Word or similar file. Your title and authors/affiliations will also need to be entered into separate fields. 

• Submissions should be no more than 250 words.
  
• You will be required to enter a bio for the Principal Presenting Author (max. 100 words).
  
• If you are submitting on behalf of the Principal Presenter, please have their email address ready to include in the submission.
  
• Use standard abbreviations only. Within the body of the abstract, when using abbreviations spell out the name in full at the first mention and follow with the abbreviation in parenthesis. Abbreviations may be used in the title, provided the name in full is outlined in the body of the abstract.
  
• Abstracts must contain sufficient information so that if published it will be a complete report independent of presentation. The abstract should not contain statements alluding to results or conclusions not presented within the text.
  
• Please limit your abstract to one page at most. If you wish to use any graphical object (graph, photo, drawing, etc) make sure that the resolution of the object is sufficiently high and the object is centred on the page.
