Are you considering a presentation? Here are the key steps and information to help you.
- View the Call for Proposals for instructions, guidelines, and the review rubric.
- View a Preview of the Proposal Submission form
- Presentation format options include Lightning Presentation, Standard Presentation, and Poster Discussion
- Submit your presentation proposal and abstract by the early or regular deadline. Two rounds of submissions to provide you with flexibility.
- Early submission: If you prefer and can submit earlier, then you will receive notification before winter break.
- Regular submission: Use this option if you need more time to prepare, then you will get your notification by mid-January.
- Pick the option that works best for you! Proposals for both submission periods are reviewed the same way, using the same review rubric and double-blind peer-review process.
