AAC 2012 Abstract Submission

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO MAY 6, 2012. SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED AFTER THIS DATE WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE WORKING GROUP LEADER.

There are five categories of presentations at AAC2012, and ALL must be accompanied by abstract submission which can be entered into the truly online abstract form below. This form is similar to the form you completed for your application for invitation for the AAC 2012.

1. Plenary talks: These are talks to the full AAC2012 assembly, and this slate of speakers has already been arranged.
2. Invited talks in the working groups: The leaders of each working group will solicit a very limited number of abstracts on truly outstanding recent work from the list of AAC invitees.
3. Contributed talks in the working groups: AAC2012 invitees are requested to submit abstracts to their preferred working group(s). Please refer to the Working Groups' Mission Statements when considering the working group(s) to which you choose to submit your abstract. Contributed abstracts can be upgraded to "invited" at the discretion of the working group leaders.
4. Non-student contributed posters: These will be presented in a general poster session coinciding with an evening reception.
5. Student posters: These can be contributed as poster-only (abstract required) or they can be supplemental to a student talk from one of the working group sessions (an abstract is required for the talk). These will be presented at a student poster session/evening reception, with prizes for the best student posters.

Abstract submission instructions

The abstract form limits your abstract to 50 words and your summary to approximately 350 words and one page only. Please do not submit additional materials.

The abstract form requests working group (WG) preference(s) and preference for talk/poster/either. When received in our office your abstracts will be forwarded to the working group leaders you have listed as preferred. If you wish to submit both a poster and a talk on related subjects, please submit separate abstracts for each, refer explicitly to the related submission in each text, and justify briefly why they are complementary and warrant separate presentation.
