Abstract Submissions

Poster Presenters

There will be a designated poster session available.

Poster presenters are required to bring a physical poster (maximum size A0, portrait orientation only) and be present at the Symposium during the poster session.

Further information will be provided upon abstract acceptance.

Oral Presenters

Oral submissions are now open.

If your abstract submission is accepted, you will need to bring your presentation on a USB stick and ensure you load it in the speaker prep room at least 1 full session before your session.

Further details will be provided upon abstract acceptance.

  • Is your abstract open and running on your own computer? – You need to be able to cut and paste it onto the web.

  • * Maximum text length allowed is 320 words in length including sub-headings. To assist your preparation, abstracts may be structured under the sub-headings Aims, Methods, Results, Conclusions. The sub-headings must be concise, with only the first word starting with a capital letter.

    * Abstracts reporting quantitative studies should contain the planned accrual target and the actual number of patients recruited, levels of significance and confidence intervals of results. Abstracts of qualitative research should indicate how they chose their sample size (e.g. data saturation) and the methodology of analysis.

    * Images are not accepted in abstracts.

  • The first step in uploading your abstract is to record your personal details on your own ‘dashboard’. If you have already completed it for your registration or another ASN event, you will not have to repeat this, just login to your ‘dashboard’ as a returning delegate. As you complete your registration you will receive a confirmation email. You will be able to upload your abstract via your personal 'dashboard.

    You can use your email and password to access your abstract submission at any time.

    The presenting author must be the person submitting the abstract and they must do this from their own ‘dashboard’.

    You can cut and paste your abstract in several simple steps. The benefits of this system are many but include:

    * Allowing you to preview your abstract and make modifications to your satisfaction.

    * Ensuring you know your lodgement is completed as you will receive an immediate email confirmation.

    * Ensuring accurate indexing of all authors in the abstract book.

    * Ensuring consistent presentation of all abstracts in the proceedings (overarching formatting is imposed).

    When you've finished the submission you will receive a confirmation email with your Abstract Submission Reference Number. You can view or edit your abstract by returning to your dashboard.

    If you do not receive this confirmation email, please contact ASN Events.

  • Changes can be made to your abstract until the scoring process begins. Just return to your Conference Dashboard and select the Edit option under Abstracts. The edit option will no longer appear once scoring has commenced.

  • Notification of programming decisions will come from the secretariat shortly after the expiry of deadlines and the working program will be posted to the web site. It will also appear on your own ‘dashboard’. The notification will include specific presentation instructions.

  • A couple of weeks before the meeting, the final program will be published to this website & in PDF format and will be accessible to delegates.
