Welcome to the PBSA Annual Conference Abstract Submission Site

PBSA is making every effort to hold the Annual Conference as a hybrid event with the live portion taking place in Anaheim, CA. We are currently monitoring the guidelines for meeting safely by working closely with the Anaheim Marriott to ensure the safest venue for our event. At this time, we are waiting on Orange County to update its regulations to allow for large gatherings and as such we have not made a final decision for the conference. Whether the conference is hybrid or remote, we will be holding an Annual conference and are now in the process of accepting speaker submissions! If you are interested in speaking at the conference, please submit your abstract and indicate your current comfort level regarding meeting in person in September 2021. Please note that your response will not impact the rating of your session and we recognize that comfort levels are constantly changing. Once we have determined whether the conference will be hybrid or fully virtual we will reach out to confirm your willingness to participate as a speaker at the Annual Conference.
