Abstract Submission - Step 1

Printer friendly version Printer friendly version

LACQUA 2025 encourages the submission of high quality oral and poster presentations. We strongly encourage authors to consider poster presentations because poster sessions will be an integral part of the program. Papers submitted for "oral presentation only" may not be accepted as oral presentations due to the limited number of available time slots.

English is encouraged, but 3 official languages (English/Portuguese/Spanish) are accepted. Power Point Presentation – Slides - same as above – English strongly encouraged. Oral Presentation: any of the 3 official languages. At the conference, the abstracts may be presented in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Title the same language as presentation.

Each oral presenter shall be entitled to no more than 20 minutes comprised of 15 minutes for a presentation, plus 5 minutes for questions. Authors of studies involving proprietary products or formulations should present this information in workshops or the trade show. Oral presentations can only use Power Point. Overhead projectors, slides and video players will not be available or allowed.

All presenters are required to pay their own registration, accommodation and travel expenses. LACQUA 2025 cannot subsidize registration fees, travel or hotel costs.
