Abstract Submission Guidelines

Please be sure to register before submitting an abstract. Submissions can be made on the same page as registration here. The word limit for abstract submissions will be 300 words. There will be two sessions of 3-4 research talks (6-8 talks in total), which we will choose from submitted abstracts. If your abstract was not chosen for an oral presentation, you will automatically be considered for a poster presentation.

The winners of the judged poster sessions and audience-selected oral presentations, which will be announced during the event, will receive a prize.

Virtual attendees will be given preference for talk selection from submitted abstracts for the virtual talks on July 10th.
