Abstract Submissions 2019

Call For Abstracts

This year we will collaborate with Japan Pancreas Society to celebrate our 50th annual meeting in the beautiful Grand Wailea Resort in Maui, Hawaii! As always, abstracts submissions will be imperative to the success of the meeting.

Abstracts must be received no later than June 15, 2019 to be considered for presentation at the meeting and will only be accepted electronically via our website. The submission fee for each abstract is $60 and is required for each abstract, whether published or not.

Guidelines and a sample with the appropriate format can be downloaded here. Submissions not in the appropriate format will be rejected without further consideration and without refund.

Last year, we awarded more than 50 Travel Scholarships to Young Investigators and we hope to do even more this year.  Submission of an abstract does not automatically mean you have applied for travel funds. The application is available from the annual meeting page and it is also due by June 15, 2019. As a reminder, applicants who will be the presenting author on a submitted abstract are considered the most competitive to receive these awards.

The program committee is working hard to develop a fantastic program that incorporates your suggestions from the post-meeting survey, and it promises to be an exciting meeting. We look forward to seeing you in November!
