The deadline to submit general sessions, courses and posters is September 12, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET. The submission site will not reopen.

All presenter disclosures will need to be completed by this deadline. If any presenter disclosures are not complete, the presenter will automatically be removed from the submission.

If a presenter did not complete their disclosure in time, they will be removed from the abstract. If the abstract is accepted, you will be able to add them to your abstract at a later time.

The New Research poster submission site will open on November 12, 2024 and will close at 5:00 p.m. ET on January 9, 2025.

We accept encore abstracts for general sessions and courses, but we do not accept encore posters. Posters cannot be presented or published prior to the meeting.

When you submit your abstract, it will say "pending" as it has been submitted and is currently under review by the committee. Once the committee has reviewed all the submitted abstracts, you will receive a notice on your abstract.

New research submissions are abstracts that are new and have not been presented or published in the past.

• For general sessions you are permitted 1 chair and 4 presenters
• For posters you are permitted 1 poster presenter and 4 co-authors for a total of 5 speakers listed
• A single presenter/co-author cannot be listed on more than 5 submissions of any type

Once the submission site has closed, the committee will review and grade each abstract. After all the abstracts have been graded you will then receive a decision on your abstract. You can expect to receive a decision on your abstract by February 29, 2024.
