Symposium Selection

Choose or change the appropriate symposium for your abstract. Do not make a double submission by submitting the same abstract to two different symposia.

Students: Please note that if you wish to be considered for the Z01 General Student Poster Session competition, you must submit your abstract to the Z01 General Student Poster Session. Abstracts submitted to other symposia are not eligible for participation.
Presentation Type

Oral presentations will take place in person at the live meeting. They must be in English. LCD projectors and laptops are provided for all oral presentations. Presenting authors MUST bring their presentations on USB flash drives to use with dedicated laptops located in each technical session room. Speakers requiring additional equipment must make written request to meetings@electrochem.org at least one month prior to the meeting so appropriate arrangements can be made, subject to availability, and at the author's expense.

Poster presentations must be displayed in English. Posters should be printed in A0 format (84.1cm x 118.9cm or 33.1in x 46.8in) and labeled with the abstract number and day of presentation in the final program. Participants in the Z01 General Student Poster Competition are required to upload a digital poster file in advance of the meeting and be present during the in-person judging session on Tuesday evening. The deadline to upload a digital file for the competition is sent to presenting authors.

Digital presenters will be required to submit a video of their presentation, and/or a copy of the slide deck or poster. This will be made available for on demand viewing only within the online program for about 30 days from the close of the meeting. Digital presentations will NOT be streamed into or out of the onsite session rooms. Digital presentations are not a substitute for an in-person oral talk if you cannot attend the meeting unexpectedly.
