CCH 2010 - Our Fourth Year
General Abstract Submission Guidelines
Abstract submissions must be electronically submitted by Friday, May 28, 2010, at 5:00 p.m. Selection notifications will be emailed by Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Selected presenters will receive a complimentary registration to the conference.
Abstracts may be entered directly online; however, we highly recommend that you prepare your abstract in a word processing application and use the cut-and-paste method. Using your word processing tools, ensure that your word or character counts match those identified in the abstract submission. Please remember to spell check your abstract before submitting. Graphs, tables, and other supporting documents are not permitted. Presenting authors must complete the online Biographical Data Form. If submitting authors are unable to present at the conference, their replacements must also complete and submit the form.
Each presentation should be 45 minutes allowing 5 minutes at the end for questions.
Submitting a Completed Abstract
Each submission must contain three learning objectives.
- Abstracts must be written in English, under 400 words (not including the title, authors’ names or the three learning objectives) and must clearly describe the session content and instructional methods.
- Title of presentation should be no more than 15 words.
- All abstracts must directly address the conference tracks as wells as the goal and topic areas.
