How are abstracts reviewed?

Submissions will be reviewed for content only by the program committee and/or selected experts. 

Do I need to submit a poster?

All abstract submitters are requested to submit a poster via email to maw143@case.edu. A virtual breakout poster session at the symposium will involve real-time questions and answers similar to what would occur in an in-person session. You will need to be present for your entire poster session. Poster presenters will be judged during their session for the poster awards.

Abstract submissions will be used to identify additional speakers for the symposium. You will have the option at the time of abstract submission to indicate if you would like to be considered for a talk and panel discussion at the Symposium. Individuals selected for talks will be notified by Friday, September 17 and will be judged for oral presentation awards. Those selected for a talk do not need to present in real-time at the poster session unless they wish to do so.
