Final Acceptance

In the past, the number of submissions for talks or posters recommended for acceptance has exceeded the number of available slots in the program. Unfortunately, even if submissions meet the conference criteria, no guarantee can be made concerning whether a proposal will be accepted. All submissions, except invited talks, are subject to review and final determination by the Conference Committee. If your submission is accepted by the committee, additional materials including digital images and a video release form will be requested. Final acceptance and inclusion in the conference program is contingent upon receipt of these materials. Presentations cannot be changed after final acceptance without the express permission of the Conference Committee. The Notification of Acceptance will be in early April, 2018.

Within the bounds of good order, audience members are free to pose questions and voice objections or approval after a presentation. Please be prepared to field this commentary with appropriate decorum.

NOTE: Acceptance of a proposal does not constitute endorsement of the presenter's opinions by IRVA, the SSE, or the Conference.
