Student authors should submit their e-poster on their own. Professors, mentors, or colleagues should not be the individuals submitting the e-poster.

There is no fee for abstract submission.

• Scientific research, clinic research
  
  • Consists of scientific design, literature-based foundation, material/method, result with statistical analysis, discussion and conclusion 
• Case studies, clinical innovation
  
  • Consists of literature-based foundation, material/method, discussion and conclusion

• Limit an abstract to 300 words, excluding the title, by copying and pasting directly into the text box within the submission webpage. 
• Do not include diagrams, illustrations or other graphic objects in your abstract. Diagrams, illustrations or other graphic objects can be included in your e-Poster presentation.

Submitting an abstract for e-Poster does not guarantee acceptance. All abstract proposals are reviewed by the Scientific Meeting Council (SMC). Incomplete submissions will not be considered. Formal notification, via email, of selection will occur after all proposals have been reviewed by the Scientific Meeting Council.

Once your abstract has been accepted, you will receive an email with e-Poster format and submission instructions. If you have not received one or have accidentally deleted it, please contact Terra Cooney, Scientific Session Program Administrator at terra.cooney@agd.org and include e-Poster title and author name in your email.

e-Poster submissions should be one page (slide) only.

Portable Document Format (PDF) is the accepted file type due to the following key advantages:

• Minimizes any issues with the rendering of your e-Poster regardless of any symbols, fonts, colors and graphics you might have used.
• Protects your work form being edited. 

Upon completion of your e-Poster submission, you will receive a confirmation email with a reference number.
