Conference

How do I register for the annual conference?

Registration for the annual conference is typically open from January to May.  Online registration links will be on our Meeting page when available.

How do I submit an abstract?

To submit an abstract for the annual conference you must first register as a conference attendee.  During registration you will select the option to submit an abstract.  The system will prompt you to submit your abstract once your registration to the conference is complete.

What are the abstract submission guidelines?

Your abstract should contain plain text with no special formatting. Special characters (specifically Greek letters, greater than or equal to, and less than or equal to) must be spelled out. Any special characters included in your submitted abstract will be shown as a question mark (?). Please use lower-case 'p' for probabilities, e.g., p < .05. 

When submitting your abstract you will be able to indicate what words or phrases you would like converted to special or Greek characters for publication in the abstract book and in the special publication of BBI (to be published after the conference).  

The body of the abstract is limited to 225 words. Please write the abstract as one block paragraph. All tabs, line breaks, and extra spaces will be ignored when the text is displayed on a web page.

What if I need to cancel my conference registration?

PNIRS must receive written notice of cancellations six weeks prior to the meeting in order to receive a refund less $50 processing fee. Cancellation requests received after the six week deadline will not be refunded.
