How to submit an abstract to IAAD Biennial Meeting
Abstracts for poster presentations/competition must be submitted via the online submission system by the deadline. Check for typographical and grammatical errors. They must be written in English and contain following elements:
- Title: Abstract titles are limited to 10 words or less. Capitalize the first letter of each word unless it is a preposition or article.
- Authors: Enter first (given) name, last (family/surname) name for each author plus institution/affiliation (department/branch should be omitted), contact information, and email address. One person must be identified as the presenting author. IAAD will correspond only with the presenting author, regardless how many co-authors are listed.
- Abstract text: All abstracts should not exceed 300 words (title and author information excluded). Do not add references. Additionally, short and concise tables and images (no more than 1 or 2) can be submitted if they are integral to the abstract. Each abstract must contain following components:

You can select only one award per abstract. For details about the categories and eligibility see section IAAD Poster Competition Awards below.
