Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate date/time presentation requests. However, we will respect requests made due to religious requirements.

Although there is no set number of podium presentations, we typically accept 25-30% of abstract submissions for podium presentations.

No. Those decisions are based on your submission. A panel of experts specific to your abstract’s topic category reviews each submission. On average, we accept approximately 25-30% of all submissions for a podium presentation.
