Abstract Information & Using the Topic Categories

Before you submit your abstract, please read the Rules and Guidelines for Abstract Submission

The topic that you select from the topic category list determines which society receives and programs your abstract. Therefore, it is important that you review the society topic categories before submitting your abstract. Please follow the guidelines below.

Help us program your abstract correctly

Each society has its own list of topics. You may choose a topic from any society listing. Please begin by searching for all related topic categories.

Remember which society is programming your abstract
Your abstract will be received and programmed by the society which lists your topic choice.

Each society uses a different programming method – your abstract may go to a program committee or to a session chair.
Knowing which society is programming your abstract makes follow-up easier.
Indicate your preference for oral or poster presentation
While the programming society makes the final decision about whether you will make an oral or poster presentation, it is important to indicate your preference on the submission form.

For all societies, abstracts not selected for oral presentation will be programmed as posters. For IUPS and AAI, abstracts selected for oral presentation must also be presented as posters.
Submitting to a minisymposium or featured topic is not necessarily an automatic request for oral presentation. You may request a poster presentation when submitting to a minisymposium or featured topic.
AAA platform sessions (formerly called minisymposia) are only oral presentations.
