Submission rules

Important information regarding abstract submission:

• Please use the template provided (abstract_template.doc) otherwise the abstract will be rejected.
• This deadline will be strictly observed (see Important dates for more details).
• The presenting author must be a paid registrant at the Conference. The Conference does not provide financial support nor registration fee waivers for any presentations.
• All abstracts must be submitted via the WEB system only. Abstracts sent via e-mail, fax, or regular mail will not be processed or acknowledged.
• Abstracts should be one page maximum, and are limited by the submission system. Two figures/tables are permitted. However, note that this significantly reduces the text permitted. Make your determination about whether you prefer text or figures and work within the limit.
• Read and follow submission procedures, which will be available at each step of the process. If you have questions about this procedure, please contact us with the contact page.
• Underline speaker's name.
• Be sure to provide a clear and correct e-mail address for the corresponding author and provide all other information requested. Use upper and lower case characters. Do not use all upper case. This e-mail address will be used to notify you of acceptance and the location of informational materials. Acronyms of institution names are acceptable. Be sure to type your first and last names in the proper boxes.
• Following construction of the WEB system, the abstracts will appear online at the Conference website.
• Abstract acceptance will be announced via e-mail.
