Please select the ‘Create new account’ button and enter your preferred email address and password for your account log in details. Once logged into the submission portal please click on the ‘Your contact information’ tab at the top of menu bar and complete your contact details.

Once you have created an account within the abstract submission portal you can upload abstracts, edit abstracts that are still in draft, and review terms and conditions at any time, by logging in. 

Step 2: Submitting your abstract
Abstracts must be submitted by the presenting author who should complete all required fields. Click on the ‘Abstract submission’ tab and review the instructions. Use the template to present your abstract in the required format. Abstracts not submitted using this template will be returned for correction.

The template is available here and can be found above and in the abstract submission portal under the Abstract Submission Guidelines tab, please save the template to your desktop and complete it.  

You will be required to provide the following details prior to uploading the abstract file:  
- The abstract title
- Theme selections
- Author names
- Your completed abstract template 

Please complete each step within the portal and then select the ‘Submit’ button to successfully submit your abstract. Please note this button will show only when all fields have been completed. You can also choose to ‘Save as draft’ at any time. You can view all your drafts and successfully submitted abstracts in the ‘Your submissions’ tab.  Once your abstract is submitted correctly, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive this email, your abstract has not been submitted. The abstract will be found under the ‘Your submissions’ tab and you will need to complete the missing information and submit it. Should you wish to delete or edit an abstract that has been successfully submitted you will need to contact the Congress Office via email to bmh2024@wsm.com.au.
