Preference for the selection as platform presentation will take into account, among other factors, the general interest of the topic and the need not to replicate information presented in the Symposia. This means that the INS office must receive submissions by this date. The decision of the Program Chariperson is final. Abstracts sent to other national societies or those published previously will not be considered. There are no limitations on number of submissions but authors are asked to exercise discretion, since submitting multiple abstracts may create scheduling problems.
All abstracts are subject to peer review.
More poster session submissions than oral platform session submissions are to be accepted. The session chairpersons will rigorously adhere to these time limits, so that persons can move between rooms to hear other presentations. The poster session will be designed to provide a more intimate forum for informal discussion than is permitted by the regular platform presentation. Note carefully that poster sessions are not intended for other than graphic presentations, and authors will be responsible for arranging and underwriting the cost of special needs with the INS office. Poster exhibitors are encouraged to bring copies of their abstract, paper, or a handout for viewers.
