Abstract Submissions

Nine tasks are associated with submitting a Poster Abstract for the 2022 IASP World Congress. Poster presentations are eligible for Continuing Education credits. Given this qualification, there are specific regulations in place that IASP must recognize and implement.

Task 1: Upload a Video Introduction (Optional)

With the state of uncertainty in the world, IASP appreciates many poster submitters are unsure of their ability to be in-person for this Congress. While we are planning a robust in-person experience, IASP is committed to hosting posters and some workshops in the virtual space as well as on-ground. The virtual component is why we request a video.

Please know that you may still be able to submit your poster without a video, but IASP may request that you upload a video if your poster is accepted.

If you are unsure what to show in your video, many submitters simply include a brief introduction of themselves, the co-authors, and the reason behind their research. Videos are typically 5 minutes in length. To bypass submitting a video at this time, click Continue.

Upload test video below using .mp4 format. Please make note: the file size limit is 10MB.

Task 2: Add Authors

Each poster must have a minimum of a Presenting Author and a First Author. Information needed for each author:  

    • First & last name and email address 
    • City and Country 
    • Affiliation and Credentials 
    • Brief background 

Task 3: Conflict of Interest Forms for All Authors 

Task 4: Add Abstract Details

    • Title
    • Topic
    • Disclosure of abstract being submitted for other meetings
    • Questions about authors
    • Background & Aims

Task 5: Abstract Sponsor & SIG Awards

Task 6: Upload CV/Bio

The CV or Bio is only for Continuing Medical Education purposes. The CV/Bio attached will be submitted to the accrediting organization that IASP uses in order to offer CME credits. It will not be made public. A brief career overview will suffice.

Task 7: Poster-Previously Presented

IASP will NOT accept any poster that has been previously presented at another meeting. Poster abstracts must describe original scientific material that has not been previously published or presented at other national or international meetings. IASP does not allow encore presentations. However, if a poster abstract was presented elsewhere only with preliminary results and complete results are now available, it may be presented.

Task 8: Confirm Poster Details

Once all tasks are done, be sure to submit – the button to submit is in the upper right-hand corner.

Draft Abstracts – The submission form allows you to store your abstract as a draft in order to make changes. Please note that abstracts must be submitted before the deadline in order to be sent to review for inclusion in the Scientific Program.
