Submission
All extended Abstracts will be submitted via the Abstract Manager. Text font/size will be formatted automatically as information is entered, either by copying and pasting or typing in directly. Editing is permitted after upload, and special characters may be selected. There are separate boxes to enter the following:
- Title: Use Upper and Lower Case ("Title Case")
- Each author's name
- Contact information for corresponding author
- Abstract text with references and captions
- Two figures (separately)
- One table
When the abstract text is uploaded, you may decide to treat as a one-part abstract, or you may use divisions such as Introduction, Description, Results, Conclusions, and References, but this is not required.

Speed Talks
Speed talks are not listed as an option when you submit an abstract. During review, the Technical Committee will determine which oral or poster abstract submissions are the best fit for the speed talk sessions. Presenters will then be offered this opportunity when they are notified of acceptance. If selected to give a speed talk, you must prepare both an oral and a poster presentation.
