Abstract Submission Guidelines
Please review the steps below before entering the online abstract submission site.
Awards: Both ALD and ALE will recognize student achievement with awards
for the best student posters and/or talks. See Awards Page
Step 1
Before signing up or logging into the online system (in Step 5), please review all of the following steps to ensure you have the information needed to complete the abstract submission process.
Please Note the Following Requirements Prior to Submission:
- If you are planning to submit multiple abstracts, presenters are limited to one oral and one poster presentation. One submission must be to an oral session and one to a poster session. Must be two DIFFERENT abstracts – not the same abstract submitted as both an oral and a poster
- All ALD/ALE 2023 oral presentations, including the question and answer period and any discussions, will be audio recorded and synchronized with your PowerPoint presentation file and compiled into conference proceedings accessible to all attendees after the meeting. The conference proceedings will also include PDF files of the poster presentations.
- You will need to agree to the copyright agreement.
Step 2
You will be asked to select your topic. The list will be similar to the main topics listed below.
Step 3
Fill out the abstract content and author details in the system (abstract 2,700 characters max. including grammar and spacing; you may also submit a supplemental 1 page PDF file containing any graphs, charts or pictures you wish to include)
Step 4
Accept the copyright agreement. If you have questions e-mail della@avs.org.
STEP 5
Reopens April 4
Closes May 5
Author Notification
Acknowledgment that your abstract has been submitted will follow by e-mail shortly after submission. Notifications regarding acceptances will be sent by e-mail by April 4, 2023. Late news author notifications will be sent by May 15, 2023.
