REGISTRATION and POSTER & ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

Registration: Click the Registration tab above to begin the online registration process. All meeting participants must be registered and paid in full at least four weeks in advance of the meeting they wish to attend.

Abstract Submission: Although abstract submission is not required to attend a HZAU meeting, all attendees are encouraged to submit abstracts. Submission deadlines, posted at the tops of individual meeting webpages, are typically ten to twelve weeks in advance of the meeting dates. Once a deadline has passed, the meeting's organizing committee reads through all abstracts, makes decisions about those selected for oral versus poster presentations, and finalizes the meeting program. Abstracts submitted after the deadline may be forwarded to the organizers for possible consideration as poster presentations only, if the meeting is not oversubscribed. You must register for a meeting before submitting an abstract;  You may copy and paste your abstract from Word, Google Docs, or Notepad; abstracts are limited to ~2900 characters.

Program Information: The organizing committee finalizes a meeting program approximately one weeks after an abstract submission deadline. Please advise us well in advance if you know you cannot present on a particular day. You will also receive a hard copy of the abstract book upon check-in at HZAU.
