- Authors should submit abstracts for consideration by completing the Online Abstract Submittal Form, accessible by clicking on the button at the top of this page.
- All submitted abstracts are to include key results and key references if applicable, and must be between 250 and 800 words in length.
- Abstracts must include keywords, with a maximum of five keywords separated by semicolons.
- At the time of abstract submission, authors will be asked to certify that the submitted abstract is unclassified, non-proprietary and approved for public release and unlimited distribution. All accepted abstracts will be posted to the ICCM 25 Conference website.
- ICCM 25 is unclassified and open attendance. Authors presenting papers will be responsible for obtaining all necessary approvals and releases prior to the Conference.
- Abstracts must be received no later than Friday, 15 January 2027. Abstract reviewers request that, in order to facilitate technical review, abstracts be submitted as soon as possible. A late submission will not allow time for proper review by the conference planning/review committee and may result in the rejection of the abstract.
- All submitted abstracts will receive an email the week of 26 February 2027 notifying them of the acceptance/non-acceptance of the abstract. Only the primary submitting author will be sent this acceptance/non-acceptance email and it will be the author’s responsibility to notify any co-authors.
- Authors presenting papers at ICCM 25 are REQUIRED to register by 23 April 2027 for the conference and pay the associated conference registration fee. No Exceptions.
- All Accepted Authors/Abstracts for ICCM 25 will be expected to give their presentation in-person at the ICCM 25 Conference.
What Happens if My Abstract is Accepted?
PLEASE NOTE: All Accepted Authors/Abstracts for ICCM 25 will be expected to give their presentation in-person at the ICCM 25 Conference.
Each primary submitter for abstracts will be notified by email, the week of 26 February 2027 of the decision of the ICCM Review Committee. Authors of accepted abstracts will receive further instructions on next steps, including presentation submission through the abstract submission system. All presenters will be required to upload their presentation materials via this system prior to the Conference. Detailed guidelines and submission deadlines will be communicated in the acceptance notification.
Please note that all presenters are required to complete their Conference Registration separately and pay the application registration fee in order to confirm their participation in the programme.
Final presentations, including any supporting materials (e.g. extended speaker notes or a technical paper, at the author’s discretion), may be included in the Conference Proceedings and made available on the Conference website after the event.
- PowerPoint presentations are preferred, but PDF can be used as well, if needed.
- It is recommended that Presentations use a 16:9 ratio.
- Fonts should be size 16 or higher (unless the text is a footnote or disclaimer). One tip to test if the font of your presentation is big enough is to print a random page of your presentation, place it on the floor, and see if you can read it when you stand up.
- Send your presentation ahead of time so it can be previewed for any technical issues. Also take advantage of speaker review times to review your presentation on the equipment you will be using for presentation and in the room where you will present. This should ensure that no problems will occur on the day of your presentation.
- Always bring a backup copy of your presentation with you just in case your main copy is lost or damaged.
