  • Abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of judges, who will decide on the acceptance or rejection of the abstract and the type of presentation.
  • Since the number of oral presentations is limited to about 15-20, if you choose “oral presentation” as your first choice and “none” as your second choice, your abstract may not be accepted even if it is ranked higher than other submitted abstracts.
