Instructions

• During the online submission process, you will be asked to enter the presenting author, the presenting author's contact information, and the names and e-mail addresses of all co-authors.

Guidelines

Presenters may register at a reduced fee of $725 per person, but must pay all their own travel expenses. If your attendance is dependent on outside funding, please secure your financial aid before submitting your abstract or case. Abstracts & cases cannot be withdrawn once accepted.
