Abstract Submission Guidelines
Abstract Submission – Frequently Asked Questions
1. If my submission focuses on clinical practice, must it be an oral presentation, or is a poster also acceptable?
Both oral and poster formats are acceptable for submissions focusing on clinical practice. Authors may indicate their preferred format during submission, but final allocation will depend on the programme schedule and review outcomes.
2. For presentations on good practices or clinical techniques, does the work need to be a large‑scale project with systematic data collection?
No. The work does not need to be a large‑scale project with extensive, systematic data collection. Practical, frontline approaches and sharing of best practices or clinical techniques are welcome, as long as they are supported by appropriate clinical and/or research evidence.
3. Can I submit an abstract for an ongoing project with incomplete data collection?
Yes. Ongoing projects may be submitted. Authors should clearly indicate in the abstract that the project is ongoing and include preliminary data or results where available. For projects without results at the time of submission, authors are encouraged to describe the expected results.
4. May I present work that has already been published?
Yes. Previously published work may be presented, provided that the submitted abstract is not a pure repetition of a prior conference presentation. Authors should ensure that the abstract offers added value (e.g. updated data, new analyses, or a different angle relevant to the Convention audience).
5. Is there a maximum number of abstract submissions allowed per author?
There will be no strict limit on the number of abstracts an author may submit. This is to encourage a wide range of contributions and to attract as many high‑quality submissions as possible.
