ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS

A note from the Scientific Committee

We will build the final program for the symposium around the highest quality submissions. Whoever you are, wherever you are from, whatever kind of work you do, if you are doing high quality research related to (any of the) streptococci and the diseases they cause in humans, please submit an abstract (or more than one).  

If you would like to apply for a travel grant, please visit the Travel Grants page.

Abstract Categories

- Epidemiology and clinical research

- Vaccines and immunology

- Pathogenesis, immune responses, omics

- Biomarkers and diagnostics

If your work doesn’t clearly fit in one or another category (perhaps because it spans them all) please choose whichever one seems closest to what you do, complete the submission, and
leave the rest to us.

Presentation Types

Authors will be required to indicate their preferred presentation format when submitting an abstract.

  1. Oral Presentation
    All oral presenters need to be at the venue to make their presentation.

  2. Poster Presentation
    All posters will be a maximum of 1m(w) x 1.2m(h) and presented during the dedicated poster sessions.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT

Please read the following instructions prior to submitting your abstract.

**Please note you can only make changes to your abstract until the submission deadline, after which any changes should be sent to: Conference Secretariat ASN Events.

Important Note: It is a condition of having your Abstract accepted and included in the Conference Program that you are a registered and paid delegate.

    • Ensure you use one of the following browsers: INTERNET EXPLORER (v11 or newer) MOZILLA FIREFOX (v44 or newer) SAFARI (v5 or newer) GOOGLE CHROME

    • Mac Users: if you have trouble submitting your abstract, try submitting from a PC. If you are still having issues, please contact the secretariat.

    • Mozilla Users: the security policy in Mozilla often prevents pasting from your clipboard without using the menu commands. You can still cut and paste your abstract into the submission, but you may have to use the menu command rather than ‘control v’ shortcut.

    • Ensure your abstract text is less than 250 words as the system will not accept submissions over this limit. The word count does NOT include your title, authoring or cited references

    • Have your abstract open on your own computer to enable you to cut and paste it into the submission system.

    • Do you have an image in your abstract? This conference is NOT accepting images.

    • Do you have a table in your abstract? This conference is NOT accepting tables.

    1. Select the presentation type and category

    2. Provide some keywords to assist in categorisation of your abstract

    3. Enter the title of your abstract. Please type the title in sentence case (that is lowercase with only the first letter of the first word in capitals) and without any punctuation. A correctly formatted example follows: Title of my presentation for the conference

    4. Enter the name of all authors and their organisations and indicate the presenting author by ticking the relevant box

    5. Type or cut and paste the text of your abstract into the relevant field. Please ensure that abstract is no more than 300 words. (Does not include title, authoring or cited references)

    6. Preview your abstract, make any changes required and finalise your submission and return to your dashboard

    7. You will recieve an email confirmation that your abstract has been successfully submitted. Please check your email junk file in case it has been captured there.

    8. Should you wish to make any changes to your abstract after you have submitted it, please log onto your online registration dashboard. Click on the "View Submission" then "Preview/edit abstract".

    Please note you will only be able to make changes to your abstract until the submission deadline, after which any changes should be sent to: Rebecca Boucher

    Important Note: It is a condition of having your Abstract accepted and included in the Conference Program that you are a registered and paid delegate.

    The registration system encourages you to register at the same time as submitting your abstract, but it is not essential - you are able to submit an abstract without completing the registration process at this time.

  • The Organising Committee will review all submissions before selecting the presentations which will be included in the conference program.

  • Once the reviewing has been completed the conference organisers will notify abstract presenters of their acceptance. Specific presentation instructions will be included in the notification.

Trouble Shooting

If you have any issues submitting your abstract, please contact Conference Secretariat ASN Events.

Web Publishing

A couple of weeks before the conference, the final program will be published to this web page along with hyperlink to the abstracts. If you do not wish to have your abstract published, please indicate this when you complete your submission.
