CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Step 1 of 7: Instructions for Presenters

Note: It is recommended that you read and then print these instructions to act as a handy guide to submitting an abstract

Subject to your approval on the abstract submission page, all abstracts accepted and received by the printer's closing date will be published in the final program.
  1. Authors of research papers who wish to have their abstracts considered for inclusion must submit their abstract electronically via the Conference website having regard to the published closing date. Abstracts submitted after the closing date will not be considered.
  2. The title should be brief and explicit.
  3. Research papers should follow the format - Purpose, Methodology, Results, Conclusion.
  4. Excluding title, authors (full given first name and family name) and institution, the abstract must not exceed 1,750 characters and spaces (approximately 250 words). In MS Word, this count can be determined from the 'Tools menu'. Any references must be included in this allowance. If you exceed this limit, the excess text will NOT appear in the abstract book
  5. Abbreviations should be used only in common terms. For uncommon terms, the abbreviation should be given in brackets after the first full use of the word.
  6. Presentations (slide and video) will only have electronic PowerPoint support. Audio visual instructions will be available in the Conference Provisional Program and in correspondence sent to all successful authors.
  7. A 50 word CV is required from each presenter to facilitate the Chairman's introduction.

  9. Tables, diagrams, graphs, etc. CANNOT be accepted in the abstract submission. This is due to the limitations of the computer software program.
  10. Please do not type in your abstract onto the submission page. Being internet based, each page on the submission site can only be open for 15 minutes before closing. Type your submission on a text document (eg. MS Word) and copy and paste it into the abstract text field.
  11. AUTHORS MUST BE REGISTRANTS AT THE MEETING FOR THEIR ABSTRACT TO APPEAR IN THE PUBLICATIONS.
