Welcome to the Call for Abstracts
Welcome to the ILCA 2023 Conference Abstract Submission Site. We are planning an in-person event for August 2023 on the West Coast; dates to be announced shortly.
The online abstract submissions deadline is extended to 11:59 pm (US Eastern Time) on 20 February 2023 (convert to your local time here). Information submitted for each abstract will be saved in the system until completed. You do not need to complete your submission at one time. However, failure to complete the required tasks and click the “Submit” button by the deadline will result in your abstract being rejected. More information is available by reading the submission requirements.
ABSTRACT CATEGORIES
Concurrent Session: 60- to 90-minute presentations presented in-person at the Conference; submissions for pre-recorded presentations will also be accepted for online access.
Abstract Submission: Abstracts can either be research or project oriented. If accepted, the topic of work may be presented in-person as a:
Poster Presentation
All research and project posters will be presented in-person during a designated poster reception. Presenters are required to produce a 48"h x 36"w poster and bring it to the conference.
Poster Presentation and Oral Presentation [by invitation]
The ILCA Research Team will nominate select abstracts for an oral presentation, in addition to a poster. Oral presentations will be 10-15-minute presentations hosted during a concurrent session at the in-person conference. All oral research presentations will be scheduled during the same concurrent session.
AUTHORS
Abstracts may list more than one author who is legitimately involved in the topic being presented. Each author will be required to outline his or her involvement and any conflicts of interest as part of the submission process. There is a maximum of four authors per presentation, one of whom will be designated as the Lead Author. Individuals may be involved in a maximum of two total abstracts, which can be a combination of any of the formats. If an author is involved in more than two submitted abstracts, only the first two submitted will be considered for presentation.
Authors must also acknowledge that they are presenting their original material or that they have permission from the copyright holders to present the material, and that they are responsible for all of the logistical expenses necessary for presenting the material (internet connections, etc.).
Authors may NOT be added to an abstract after the submission deadline.
Lead Authors will be responsible for ensuring that all communicated deadlines are met if the abstract is accepted. Presentations may be cancelled and removed from conference materials if all deadlines are not met.
NOTIFICATION
Submitting authors will receive an email by the beginning of March inviting them to present or notifying them that the abstract has been declined, at which point further instructions will be given and action will be required for authors of accepted abstracts.
REGISTRATION
Presenters must register for the event. One author per accepted abstract will be eligible for a registration discount.
