You may have to replace special characters and/or insert formatting tags using the character palette in the abstract submission website.

After you submit your abstract, you can still re-enter the submission link at any time to view and edit your abstract until the deadline of July 12, 2025. Please note that abstracts must be SUBMITTED before the deadline to be sent to review for inclusion in the Scientific Program.
• Proof: Carefully check the proof of your abstract. Make sure all special characters and formatting are displaying correctly in your proof. If you find errors, return to the abstract title, authors, or body, and make your corrections.
• It is the author‘s responsibility to submit a correct abstract. Any errors in spelling, grammar, or scientific fact will be reproduced as typed by the author.
• Upon receipt of your submission, the system will issue an e-mail confirmation (with the abstract’s ID and title) to the corresponding author automatically.
