Congress Update: Plenary Speakers Announced – 2nd Call for Abstracts

This is a friendly reminder the deadline to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations for the 2018 CAP Congress is February 28th.

To be considered for an oral presentation, you must ensure your abstract is submitted by midnight February 28, 2018 PST. We encourage poster submissions as there is limited time available for oral presentations. Post-deadline poster abstracts will be accepted if space remains once the abstracts submitted on time have been processed. For more information, please visit the CAP abstract system.

Students are reminded there are competitions for both poster and oral presentations. CAP membership is required to participate. For more details including instructions on how to enter, visit our student competition page.
