Late-breaking abstracts cover ground-breaking data that would not otherwise have been presented at WCN’22. If such data are available after the regular abstract deadline, the Scientific Program Working Group will still consider it for presentation.
Late-breaking abstracts describe the latest advances, trial data, and results that have not been previously published or presented and highlight novel and practice-changing studies.
The call for late-breaking abstracts is NOT an extension of the general submission deadline. The submission period is from April 15, 2021, to November 24, 2021.
Late-breaking abstract submitters are required to submit a ‘place holder’ abstract during the regular submission period (deadline September 26, 2021). For further information on updating your abstract, please see “Post-Submission” section below.
