ACCEPTANCE AND PRESENTATIONS: Once cases and abstracts are received, they will be reviewed by the GSA Programs and Education Committee. The goal is to create a dynamic and engaging event that encourages active participation. The committee received a historically higher number of submissions in 2023 and anticipates similar volumes this cycle. Thus, accommodations have been made to allow for an increased number of presentations. The majority of presentations will be given on large screens/video monitors throughout the meeting (electronic poster format - 8 minutes, including audience questions). The top 3 submissions will be selected to deliver a podium presentation (standard PowerPoint format - 10 minutes, including audience questions). GSA membership is not required for submission. |
