2021 EHS Call for Abstract Submissions is now closed.
Our 2021 EHS Seminar is going virtual! The EHS Committee is now meeting regularly and we will be reviewing all abstracts that can be presented virtually. We invite you to submit your topic and description for review and we will update this website as we begin to finalize details and dates. In the event that you have already submitted an abstract originally intended for the cancelled 2020 EHS Seminar, you do not need to re-submit if it is the same presentation. We still have all of our 2020 submissions on file and those will be evaluated for the 2021 virtual conference.
The presentations should be about approximately 45 minutes in length and allow an additional 10 to 15 minutes for Q & A. Please keep the below guidelines in mind:
ABSTRACT GUIDELINES
Please be sure to review the below guidelines before submitting your abstract:
- Be clear. What you submit is what you'll present. Nothing upsets attendees more than attending a session that's not as advertised.
- Be brief. If accepted, the session description you submit is what will be listed in printed programs and on the website. Keep it brief but informative as to what the class will cover.
- Be educational. Make sure your abstract doesn't sound like a sales pitch (no product promotion allowed), but rather an exciting opportunity to learn something new.
- Be original. Take the time to create well written titles and abstract, keeping the appropriate audience and level in mind.
- Be concise. Know your target audience and identify what attendees will specifically benefit from your session.
- Be specific. Provide any pertinent information in your description or bio that will help us determine the Track for your presentation.
- Selection process. Our committee will evaluate abstracts and make selections based on topic, title and content. The committee will accept abstract submissions through March 31. If your abstract is accepted, you will be notified via email or phone call from the Track Leader for that specific track to discuss details. Any speakers not accepted will be notified by email in early April.
- If accepted, your speaking opportunity is voluntary with no expense or speaking honorariums paid by EHS.
