Submit an abstract for the Alliance Meeting
The deadline to submit is Friday, May 24, 2024.
Please note: If you are submitting an abstract for more than one event (Alliance Meeting, Allied Professionals Forum, Poster Hall), we recommend you access the Pheedloop submission portals in incognito mode. The easiest way to open an incognito window is with the keyboard shortcut combination Ctrl-Shift-N (Windows) or Command-Shift-N (macOS).
