What do I do with abstracts that I have added to the system but do not want to submit?

You can either delete them or leave them as "not submitted." However, if you leave them as not submitted, you will continue to receive reminders to submit them.

Can I download a copy of my submission form?

Unfortunately, there is no option to download a copy of your submission. It is recommended to take screenshots or copy and paste your submission into a separate document.

Submitting authors will be notified, via email, of the outcome of their submission at the start of April 2025. To ensure receipt of your notification, it is important that you provide a correct email address for the submitter and the presenting author.

Can I receive feedback or reviewers’ notes on my abstract?
