The Conference provides an excellent opportunity for sharing knowledge through presentations. The Conference plans to accept submittals for oral presentation and for poster presentation. Please refer to the schedule presented below for information relating to important dates for the submittal and review process.

An abstract of each presentation, either oral or poster, must be submitted for review and acceptance. Upon review, an abstract may be determined to require additional editing and/or modification before final publication; therefore, a final abstract may be required. Such editing may be performed by technical editors associated with the Conference, or the abstract may be returned to the author(s) for incorporation of reviewer comments. If an abstract is determined to be completely acceptable for publication, no final version will be required. Please note that abstracts are required for all presentations — oral or poster — made at the Conference.

The actual presentation materials, for either oral or poster presentations, will not be submitted for review or approval.

Abstracts shall be submitted as Microsoft Word computer files (.docx or .doc). The abstract within the file shall be “camera-ready”; that is, it shall be complete, properly formatted, and ready in all respects to be directly included in the published abstract compilation. Each abstract shall be constructed/formatted in strict accordance with a specified template that is available for download from this website (see below). Abstracts, including all references and illustrations, shall not exceed one (1) page in length, and the abstract file shall not be larger than 10MB. Please see the Submittal of Documents section below for instructions for submitting abstract files.

Persons wanting to submit documents for the Conference should visit the website listed above and create an account.

Do not create more than one account on the DMS; a submitter must use the same DMS account for all submittals.

While it is not required that the person submitting documents is an author of the documents, all communication from the Conference staff concerning a document will be directed to the person who submits the document (the account holder). If the submitter/account holder is not also an author, it is the responsibility of the submitter to forward correspondence from the DMS to at least one author of the document.
