  • Abstracts should be submitted via the IAPD abstract portal; abstracts submitted by email will not be reviewed.
  • All abstracts will be reviewed for acceptance by the IAPD Science Committee regarding content, format, and English suitable for publication. Abstracts that do not follow the format/below example will be rejected.
  • Abstracts received after the deadline will not be considered unless the deadline is extended.
  • The Presenting author must be a registered event participant. The email used for the person indicated as the presenting author during the submission process must be the same email used for the presenter during their registration process.
