How do I submit an abstract?

Go to the Conference Registration Page and submit an abstract at the time that you register. At the time that you submit your registration form and payment to attend the conference, your abstract will be submitted to HerbFEST Scientific Advisory Committee for review.

  Should I register to attend the conference at the time that I submit my abstract?

Submitting an abstract represents a commitment to attend the workshop. Therefore, anyone who submits an abstract is advised to register to attend HerbFEST 2009.  Abstracts from non registered submitters may be published in the book of abstracts if recommended by the Scientific Advisory Committee.

  How do I know that my abstract was transmitted through the website?

Immediately upon submission of your registration, and abstract, you will receive an email notification confirming receipt of your registration and payment (if applicable).

If your registration does not transmit properly, please review the page to be sure that you have filled in all of the required fields on the form.

  Can I submit more than one abstract?

Each workshop participant may submit as many abstracts for presentation as desired at the workshop. However, only one abstract will be selected for presentation while more than one abstract may be published in the book of abstracts. You may, however, be a coauthor on an unlimited number of abstracts submitted by other conference participants.
