Abstract Format

Abstract text is limited 250 words. This does not include title, authors and affiliations, or funding acknowledgements. Please complete your submission carefully. All abstracts must be in final form. No typos or other errors can be corrected after the deadline. Abstracts will not be considered or reviewed unless all required fields are completed.

Reviews

Each abstract will be reviewed by the members of the Abstract Review Board, and recommended for Platform (talk) or Poster presentation. Because of the limited number of slots and the large number of requests for Platform presentations, some oral presentation requests may be assigned a Poster presentation instead depending on time and space constraints and assignments made by the Abstract Review Board.
