For all questions regarding the abstract submission process, please contact Coe-Truman Technologies’ Technical Support by phone at 1-217-398-1792 or by email at asgct@support.ctimeetingtech.com. If you would like to make changes to your abstract after submitting, you will now be able to return directly to your abstract and make changes until the deadline.
Approximately 25 percent of accepted abstracts are scheduled as oral abstract presentations. Oral abstract presentations are formal PowerPoint presentations given during simultaneous oral abstract sessions lasting an hour and 45 minutes. Presentations are 10 minutes in length followed by five minutes of Q&A. Presenters are required to disclose any potential conflicts at the beginning of their presentation.
Sixty percent of all abstracts presented at the Annual Meeting occur during one of three poster sessions.
Poster sessions allow the presenter to illustrate the abstract on a poster board and discuss the abstract with attendees present at the poster session. Posters should acquaint conference participants with the fundamentals of the presenter's program, project, or study quickly and easily. Authors must be present during the entirety of the hourlong poster session in which their abstract has been assigned.
