Abstracts from Consultants, Surgical Trainees and Aspirants are invited. There is a vast amount of untapped experience and knowledge within our membership base and we encourage you to share your wisdom, research and findings by submitting abstracts which will potentially enhance the topics our guests are presenting. These sessions have become both entertaining and informative, and we look forward to your contribution. Please note, that in previous meetings we have been able to include most of the submitted presentations, however, the number of papers submitted has increased each year and we are unable to accept all of the free papers offered.
Submissions must conform to the Abstract Preparation Guidelines as outlined below. Abstracts which do not comply with the rules of submission or layout guidelines, will be declined and returned to the author. Abstracts without results (or with “results pending”, “results to be discussed” or similar) will not be considered for presentation.
Presentations will be selected based on scientific merit, clinical merit and topicality. There may be only one presenting author, but multiple authors may be listed on the submission. Authors must disclose if their abstract has been previously submitted, published or presented. You will be required to indicate your disclosures and whether the presentation is industry supported or initiated. Where applicable, all studies must have been approved by institutional committees on ethics of experimental and human/animal investigations.
Submission of an abstract acknowledges your acceptance for the abstract to be published in all printed material of the 2024 Annual ASAPS meeting. Only abstracts from authors who have paid their registration fees will be scheduled for presentation and included in the conference handbook.
Oral Presentations
ASAPS and NZAPS Full Members / FRACS equivalent:
Oral presentations are usually 15 minutes or as appropriate for the program.
Audiovisual Equipment
Each lecture room will be equipped for the presentation of PowerPoint slides and include a data projector, laptop, lectern and microphone. Multimedia clips should be embedded in your slides. Other audio-visual aids, such as overhead projectors, are not available.
All presentations must be digital in either PowerPoint or Keynote. Speakers will be required to bring their presentations on a USB stick with them to the conference. Your presentation must be given to the audio-visual team at least three (3) hours prior to the start of the session in which you are presenting. It is disruptive to be changing computer connections at the lectern so presenting on your own laptop is
not permitted.
Submission
All abstracts are to be submitted via the on-line submission process on the conference website. Submission by email, fax or post will not be accepted. Do NOT include symbols, tables, pictures or diagrams within the ‘content’ of your abstract.
Selection and Notification
All abstracts will be reviewed by members of the Joint Scientific Meeting Committee. Presenting authors will be notified after the closing date regarding the status of their abstract. All presenters will be required to register for the conference and pay the appropriate registration fees should they be selected. All presenters also need to meet their own travel and accommodation costs.
In previous meetings, we have been able to include most submitted presentations however the number of papers submitted has increased and we are reducing the number of free papers accepted. This year we will be much stricter on the acceptance of papers.
You will be required to indicate your disclosures and whether the presentation is industry supported or initiated. Submitted abstracts will be scrutinised.
Papers not complying with this requirement will not be accepted or removed from the program if not complying.
