Important

The abstract submission system allows a group of authors to create a grouping code and link presentations/posters in a group. To group a series of linked abstracts, please use the “Grouping Code” section in the abstract submission system to create a grouping code (one code per group of linked abstracts) or join an existing group of posters.

Please note the following:

  • All abstracts in a group should fit within a similar theme and topic.
  • Inform your colleagues about the Grouping Code that they have to use to link to your group.
  • The Organizing Committee will consider your abstract grouping request during the session scheduling process. However, this request is not guaranteed, and the Committee reserves the right to move abstracts to different sessions, re-order the abstracts within each session, and add other appropriate abstracts to any session.
