Submit an Abstract

• Deadline to submit an abstract is September 17, 2012.
• To SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT: 

• Accepted abstracts will be presented as traditional posters during the Poster session. Each abstract will be reviewed by our panel of judges. If your abstract is accepted, you will be notified by October 26, 2012. 
• By submitting an abstract, you are confirming that, if your abstract is accepted, you will present a poster at the conference. Otherwise, we must remove your submission from the list of accepted abstracts on our website.
• We WILL be accepting abstracts that have already been accepted at other conferences. In order to avoid copyright issues, we will not be publishing the content (second page) of these abstracts. 
• On our website, we will instead be publishing a list of accepted authors, the titles of the abstracts, any conferences at which the abstracts were presented, and the 100-word synopses (first page of each abstract).
