Preparation and Submission of Abstracts:

Step 3:  Create a PDF file (no larger than 1.5 MB)
Step 4:  Fill out the electronic abstract submission form and upload your abstract file

Authors are encouraged to start the submission process early so our staff will have time to provide assistance in the event of technical problems. For technical assistance, contact Katy Buckaloo (281-486-2106), or send an e-mail message to [email protected].

Unable to Produce PDF Files? If you are unable to produce a PDF file, you may send your source file (must be in Word or PostScript format) to the LPI no later than January 2, 2015. We will create the PDF file and send it back to you, but it will still be your responsibility to submit that PDF file by the time of the deadline. Source files should be sent to [email protected].

At this time, submitted abstracts are to be considered for oral presentation only.
