ICRS is HYBRID in 2023

This year our 33rd annual ICRS Symposium will be held from June 24 - 29 in Toronto, Canada, at the four-star rated Marriott Toronto Eaton Centre.

ICRS2023 is an in-person meeting with options for those delegates who are unable to attend in person to attend virtually. As per ICRS meeting history, short oral and plenary talks will be delivered by delegates attending in-person. At the discretion of the president and the ICRS program committee, a small number of short oral and/or plenary talks may be selected for presentation at the meeting by delegates attending online/virtually, based on quality of abstracts and speaker preferences for in-person versus virtual attendance/presentation. You will be asked to select your preference for in-person versus virtual presentation during the abstract submission process. Attendees will have options to view ICRS presentations virtually, either live or recorded asynchronously.

Best wishes,

Prof. Ruth Ross

Accepted Abstracts – Presentation of Data:

Whereas last year's Symposium was fully hybrid, we intend to retain many of the technical aspects of last year's symposium and plan to hold a similar hybrid, live, in-person Symposium in June of 2023 inasmuch as prevailing conditions and best safety practices allow.

Delegates unable to physically attend the Symposium in Toronto will have access to all materials, plenaries and oral presentations online – as well as all sponsor materials – via both synchronous and asynchronous technologies.

While our intention is for the majority of short oral and plenary talks to be delivered by delegates attending in-person, a small proportion of short oral and plenary talks may be selected for presentation by delegates attending online/virtually, based on quality of abstracts and speaker preferences for in-person versus virtual attendance/presentation.


As such, at this time would you prefer:

A. To attend and present your work in-person, physically in Toronto

- OR -

B. To present your work online/virtually because you will NOT attend in-person in Toronto
I prefer (*)  

Presentation Preference:

All ICRS2023 Symposium presentations are going to be either 12-15 minute oral presentations or posters.

All novel abstracts submitted will be peer-reviewed by the ICRS Programme Committee. Because there are a finite number of oral berths, abstracts requesting oral presentations that do not make the cut will automatically be reviewed as posters. You do *not* need to submit twice.


* All abstracts received after Mar 15 were considered/reviewed only as posters. No abstracts will be accepted for consideration after Mar 20.

Click Browse below to select the file containing your abstract – .DOC, .DOCX, .RTF or .PAGES files only, please. *NO PDFs*

   



State any Conflicts of Interest:

A potential conflict of interest exists when there is involvement between the speaker/presenter with any for-profit commercial organization. This includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: Consultant, scientific advisory committee member, lecturer at industry-sponsored symposia/speaker's bureau, officer, board member, trustee, owner or employee for any for-profit firm from which income is derived.

THE FOLLOWING MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR ABSTRACT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR PRESENTATION.

ABSTRACTS NOT COMPLYING WITH THE INFORMATION YOU'VE SUBMITTED BELOW WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

Either

- No conflicts exist (write "none" in the box below),
or
- A conflict does exist.

To the best of my knowledge: (*)  

State nature of conflict -or- state "None.": (*)

I understand that it is necessary for any conflict to be identified openly at the beginning of my presentation, so that the audience may form their own judgments about the presentation with full disclosure of the facts of my presentation.
