Important Notice Regarding Double Submissions:
The Program Committee is aware of members not adhering to the SCS Single Appearance, and Single Submission Policies. In light of this, we strongly recommend that everyone submitting to the 2027 Annual Meeting review both policies, found on our website under Types of Sessions and Materials Required for Proposals 

To ensure compliance, you will be asked to verify, as well as confirm with all presenters associated with your submission, that they are not in violation of these policies. Failure to adhere may result in the invalidation of ALL related submissions.

Program Committee Recommendation:
The Program Committee encourages all submitters to review the Women's Classical Caucus (WCC) panel on abstract writing. Please be advised that the committee will incorporate the standards and insights shared in this panel into their evaluation of submissions for the 2027 Annual Meeting.

You can view the panel on abstract writing below.
