Abstract Presentation Information

Abstract Notifications

After regular, Young Investigator Award and late-breaking abstracts are reviewed and selected, abstract submitters are sent an email notification stating whether the abstract was accepted, and, if so, what type of abstract presentation it was accepted as. Within the notification, the abstract submitter will also be asked to accept or decline participation in the 37th Annual Meeting. If we do not receive a response by the stated deadline, we will assume you accept and include the abstract in all publications.

Abstract Presentation Information

Registration

The presenting author must register for the Annual Meeting to present an abstract. Submitting an abstract does not register you for the meeting. Abstract presenters do not receive complimentary registration.

Abstract Numbering

All accepted abstracts will receive an abstract poster number. Numbers are determined by:

  • Abstracts are ordered by the primary abstract category (alphabetized), then primary subcategory (alphabetized) and then by the last name of the primary author (alphabetized).
  • Once assigned, abstract poster numbers cannot be changed.

Types of Abstract Presentations

Poster Hall Hours: Nov. 10 from 9 a.m.–9 p.m. and Nov. 11 from 9 a.m.–8:30 p.m.

Each Regular, Young Investigator Award and late-breaking abstract presenting author will be assigned to present their poster in the Poster Hall either Nov. 10, 2022, or Nov. 11, 2022, with odd numbered posters being assigned to Nov. 10, 2022 and even numbered posters being assigned to Nov. 11, 2022.
