• Payment — There is no fee for abstract submissions.
• Meeting Registration— A minimum of one-day meeting registration is required for all contributed speaker/poster presenters. Invited speaker/poster presenters will receive detailed instructions, regarding registration in their invitational letter.
• Time — Invited papers are given 25 minutes with 5 minutes for discussion. Contributed papers are 8 minutes in duration with 2 minutes for discussion (this time may be adjusted for virtual meetings). Discussion is often vital to work presented, and these times will be strictly adhered to.
• Multiple papers — Any presenter may give a maximum of one invited talk (including panel participation) and one oral contributed talk at each meeting.  All other papers need to be presented in a poster format for which there is a four poster per meeting limit. While presenting a poster to expand upon the content of an oral persentation is encouraged, if this is done, the oral presentation must be complete enough to stand on its own.
• Length of Abstracts — Abstracts, including footnotes, must be 150 words or less. 
• General poster session — Authors may present any paper for the Winter or Summer meeting in poster format rather than the usual speaking format. If you wish to present a poster paper, under "Session Type," check "Poster."

We recommend that our members and those writing for our publications make every effort to use the SI system exclusively.
