The Abstract Submission Process Consists of Completing

[NOTE: We recommend using our sample abstract
below as the starting point for your abstract submission]
Step 2. Submit Presenter Profile Information and Upload
Abstract File
Step 3. Print Abstract Submittal Confirmation Form
After you have successfully completed the
first two steps, a confirmation form will be instantly
generated on your screen confirming receipt of your
abstract. Please keep a copy of this form on file for your
records. You will also receive an email confirmation, which
we suggest you keep a copy on file in your TEMA 15 FOLDER so
you have immediate access to your submission information.
If you do not receive a
confirmation form, the submission did not go through. It
is your responsibility to follow-up and contact Sharon
Borneman (email:
spb@ufl.edu) if you
do not receive an email confirming your submission.
