3. Things to Know Before Submitting

• Cost of Submission: Submitting an abstract/case report is free.
• Registration and Accommodations: Presenting authors must register themselves and attend the meeting in person (NO virtual attendance options). Registration, travel, and hotel assistance will not be provided unless contacted by the conference organizing committee.
• Publication Rules: Publication is contingent upon in-person presentation at the meeting. Presenting authors who have not accepted to present by the deadline provided in the invitation and have yet to reach out to us regarding any delay may have their submission(s) withdrawn from presentation and publication. Accepted submissions for AABIP 2025 cannot be published elsewhere before August 31, 2025.
• Presentation Limits: You may submit as many abstracts/case reports as you wish, but presenting authors will be limited to up to four (4) presentations.
• Patient Consent Policy (for case report or procedure videos): Though our submission portal does not have a field to upload a consent form, you should obtain the patient’s consent and abide by HIPAA policies. If the patient can no longer sign for consent but previously gave it verbally, you can write a letter stating so and have it signed by whoever received it.
• Extensions Policy: There will be no extensions to the submission deadline unless specified by the Program Organizing Committee.
• Authors Instructions: Ensure all authors have an existing AABIP account
  • Search first; avoid adding a new person unless necessary
  • Spell check when searching or adding a new person

  • It is not possible to add co-authors after the submission deadline
• Conflict of Interest (COI): The submitting author must disclose all COI or otherwise state that they have no COI before creating their first submission. This disclosure will be transferred to all submissions linked to the submitter. Automated COI emails will be sent to all co-authors after submitting; ensure all co-authors received and completed it before presentation.
• Content Permission: The submitting author will attest that all co-authors have granted consent for the material to be submitted for presentation and that the submitting author has been given the right by all co-authors to act on their behalf.
