Find Your Record
AAI Members
Enter your email address and AAI User ID and click the “Search” button (forgotten your AAI User ID?).

Non-Members
Non-members must join AAI as a member prior to beginning the submission process, if they wish to get access to the free abstract submission fee. AAI membership also includes additional benefits such as discounted IMMUNOLOGY2025™ registration fees.
You can still submit as an expired member/non-member by entering your email to confirm that you don’t have a current record. Please leave the AAI User ID field blank. You will see the “Oops. Record Not Found” message. Click the “Start” button on this page to begin a submission as a non-member.
Author/Speaker Information
The Author/Speaker Information section asks you to enter information about the author/speaker. You can add co-authors during the review stage of the submission process.
Your first name, last name, email, and author role type will auto-populate if you are a AAI member. You can’t make changes to these fields. Please contact AAI Meetings to make any changes.
If your primary institution does not come up when searching, enter the name of the institution in the Primary Institution (if not listed) field. Use the secondary institution fields if you want to include a second institution in your abstract.
Please leave the submitter box ticked under Author Role Type.
