SPEAKER KEY DATES AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR 2024
Mahalo to the authors who submitted an abstract for 2024. A number of exceptional abstracts were received for consideration this year, with over 90% of submitting authors indicating they planned to present in-person at the time of submission. With the volume of submissions received and capacity limits for oral and poster slots that can be programmed over the three days, we are unfortunately unable to accept every abstract received.
The 2024 AMOS Conference is being planned as an in-person event with virtual attendance options. All oral and in-person poster presenters must present in-person. Select poster presentations may be assigned pre-recorded virtual-only presentation in order to accommodate a greater technical body of work for the SSA/SDA community.
Author notifications have been sent May 2 and presentations assigned – oral, in-person and virtual presentations. Please contact us if you submitted an abstract and have not received an email. Check your spam and junk folders.
