You must be logged in with your ABS username to submit an abstract. If you do not recall (or have not set) a password, you may set one from the login page that appears when you click the login link.
ABS policy permits current members (members at the time of the meeting) to present one talk OR poster at the annual meeting. This means that a current ABS member may be first author (i.e. present) a single talk/poster. Members may be listed as coauthors on additional presentations, but the first author (i.e. presenter) must be an ABS Member. Invited talks (e.g. Plenary, workshops, and symposiums) are not counted in this limit. An invited speaker who is also a current ABS member can be first author and present one additional talk or poster.
Be advised that there is a limit on the number of Contributed Talks that can be accepted. ABS bylaws require us to accept talk abstracts in the order received rather than the merits of the abstract or the presenter. You may still submit your most excellent abstract as a contributed poster, but not as a contributed talk once this limit has been reached. The current limit is set at: 200. Due to limited space at Snowbird, this will be a firm limit for 2008.
Please keep the title of your abstract to around 75 characters and use sentence case; do not use an "all caps" format.
The abstract itself should be no longer than 1200 characters (including spaces), which is about 200 words.
In Summary - YOU WILL NEED:

- Establish your password using your ABS username before you can log in the first time or if you do not remember your password from last year.
- Log in using your ABS generated username and the password you created.
