You will be asked to provide the title of your abstract and the desired presentation type.
Tip: If you need help selecting a type, you can click the blue link underneath the dropdown box to view descriptions of the various types of presentations.
Once you have selected your presentation type, the system will automatically compile a task list of
required information and documentation relevant to your abstract. You will be able to click through
each task item to complete the required questions or documentation upload.
Tip: You do not have to do everything at once! If you need to pause and return at a later time to
complete a section, you may do so. The system will save your progress.
Key abstract elements:
While certain tasks will change depending on the type of presentation being submitted certain elements will be required among all abstracts:
- Author/Presenter information:This will include providing a current CV for each author associated with an abstract or presentation. You MUST list all authors and presenters, and provide the required information. Failure to do so may prevent your abstract from being considered for the conference.
Tip: When adding authors, you may invited them to complete their own profile information and submit their CV by clicking the “Invite” button under their name on the Author List task. This will send them an email allowing them to login to your abstract and complete any required information.
Note: You will not be able to click “Save Authors” at the bottom of this task until all author profiles have been completed. If you need to move on to a different task, simply click “Tasks” in the breadcrumb navigation at the top of the page to be taken back to your abstract task list. Any information provided will be automatically saved.

- Key Words: These will be included in the Key Word appendix of the Program, official conference app, and Proceedings.
- Conflict of Interest Reporting: It is the policy of the Continuing Education Program of AAFS to ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all education activities. All faculty participating in the AAFS Conference are expected to disclose any potential conflict of interest (real or perceived), discussion of unapproved (unlabeled) uses of pharmaceuticals/medical devices, and/or ongoing research (preliminary) data. Failure to do so could result in your abstract being rejected, or any approval subsequently rejected.

Once all required tasks have been completed for your abstract, click the blue “Save Submission” button. You will be taken to a preview page, where you can review everything you have compiled for your abstract. When you are satisfied, click “Submit” to finish submitting your abstract.
IMPORTANT: Your abstract is not considered submitted until you complete this step!
You will receive a confirmation email, and your abstract submission will list as “Complete” on your dashboard page.
