If you are familiar with NAVBO meetings, you'll notice this is a new submission site (yes, even newer than the one we used for the IVBM).  I hope you like it and feel free to give me some feed back. The submission site is open.

When preparing your abstract:

• Abstract Size and Limitations: Titles of abstracts are limited to 250 characters; the abstract text is limited to 2,000 characters (this number includes spaces and punctuation).
• Format: Do not include authors’ names and affiliations within the abstract body. The name of your company or institution will appear as it does in the entry you create for authors.  Remember to add yourself as an author.
• Please enter institution names exactly the same for all authors from a single institution. Please enter complete information for all co-authors including their email addresses.
• Do not include references, credits or grant support in your abstract; however, these should be acknowledged within your presentation.
• Proofread abstracts carefully to avoid errors before submission. No proof pages will be sent to authors, but you can preview your abstract within the site for accuracy.
• The presenter is responsible for expenses associated with the presentation of an abstract and attendance at the meeting (if you need financial assistance, apply for a scholarship).
• Incomplete abstracts will be deleted on June 15, 2023.
