Rapid Fire Presenter Requirements

Rapid Fire presentations are limited to 4 minutes and will be timed. To confirm you will present please go to https://www.xcdsystem.com/datatrace/abstract/index.cfm?ID=RT1rxyA and accept the invitation to present the abstract by October 15th. PowerPoint presentations will also be submitted through this link and are due by November 18th. See the AV Instructions for complete directions.

Please have your co-authors go to https://www.xcdsystem.com/datatrace/abstract/index.cfm?ID=RT1rxyA and complete the Mandatory Financial Disclosure Forms. If your co-authors have not signed into the site yet their username and password will be the email address you entered for them when you submitted the abstract. They do not need to create a new contact. All disclosure forms need to be completed on, or before November 8th. Disclosure information must be updated every other year. Your presentation will be removed from the program if all of your co-authors do not complete the Disclosure Form by November 8th.

All abstract presenters are required to register for the meeting and receive the member registration fee. If you are a Resident or Fellow, please register at the Resident/Fellow registration fee. All withdrawals may be put on a 3-year probationary period at the discretion of the Program Chair and President. All authors and co-authors of any withdrawn presentation will be unable to submit work to SOMOS for consideration, unless there are reasonable extenuating circumstances.

The Financial Disclosure and FDA Forms are not optional. The ACCME requires the Mandatory Financial Disclosure Form be completed by all authors and coauthors in order for you to speak at the meeting. In addition, they require that the 1st or 2nd slide of your presentation include your disclosure statement.  This slide should outline the disclosure information included on the disclosure form.

All PowerPoint presentations must be submitted prior to the Annual Meeting.  Please refer to the Audiovisual Instructions for complete format and download information.
