Call for Abstract Submissions

Abstracts may be submitted as an Oral Presentation (Paper, Panel, or Lightning Round) or Poster Presentation. Click here to submit an abstract.

Paper Presentations

Individual oral papers provide authors the opportunity to present original work related to conference topics.

Oral papers will have 15-minute presentation time slots and be clustered into paper sessions by the program committee around a common theme.
Paper sessions will have multiple individual presentations, followed by a time for an in-depth discussion to promote thematic dialogue amongst presenters and conference attendees.

Panel Presentations

Panel presentations provide authors the option of organizing three related papers together in a thematic session.

Panels will be 60-90 minutes including time for the presentations and discussion.
A panel submission must include an abstract summarizing the overall theme of the panel, as well as individual abstracts for each of the papers to be presented within the panel session.

Lightning Round Presentations

Lightning Round sessions provide authors an opportunity to share their work through a brief oral presentation.

Presentations are limited to 10 minutes and followed by a five-minute Q&A period.
When submitting an abstract for a Lightning Round Presentation, select the checkbox that indicates willingness to be considered for a Lightning Round presentation. The Program Committee will make final selections of submissions to be included in the Lightning Round.

Research Poster Presentations

Several extended Research Poster Sessions provide an interactive forum for authors to discuss their research.

Presenters will be assigned a location to put up each poster, and posters will be organized by topic.
Poster boards and push pins will be supplied, and posters should be attached to the boards for display.
Presenters are encouraged to bring 1 page double-sided handouts of their poster presentations.

Submission Options

Authors must submit abstracts as “Panel Only”, “Paper Only”, “Poster Only”, or “Paper, Lightning Round, or Poster”.
Authors are encouraged to submit using the “Paper, Lightning Round, or Poster” option. Submissions under this option will be considered for Paper, Lightning Round or Poster presentations as deemed appropriate by the Program Committee.
Panel presentations must be submitted under “Panel Only” and will not be considered for an alternative format. The number of Panels accepted will be limited and should only be used when an integrated research story requires multiple presentations in a single session.

Paper, Lightning Round, and Poster abstracts are limited to one page while Panel abstracts are limited to 4 pages. All abstracts must be formatted with 0.75 inch margins all around; 11-pt font size or larger for narrative text, 10-pt font size or larger for table and figure legends; using one of the following serif font styles: Times New Roman, Georgia, Helvetica, or Times.
