Submission Guidelines
Important Considerations Before You Submit an Abstract
- Edit and proof your abstract before submitting. IS-MPMI will not edit abstract submissions; they will be published as submitted.
- Abstracts are to be considered for a POSTER presentation.
- All submitted abstracts will then be reviewed to be considered for an oral presentation or a “flash talk” poster presentation. Notifications regarding acceptance will be sent in early spring 2023 if the abstract is selected for an oral or flash talk.
- The designated presenting author
MUST be registered for the 2023 XIX Congress. Failure to register will result in your abstract being withdrawn from the meeting.
- Abstracts should be proofed to make sure all authors and affiliations were accepted to the online form.
- Publication of tables, charts, and graphs projected onto screens or posted at the congress by anyone other than an author or presenter is prohibited unless a release has been requested and received in writing from an author or presenter.
