Notification of Acceptance*
OCTOBER 19-22, 2024
AABB Annual Meeting, Houston, Texas
* Presenting authors will receive notification of the status of their submission via email. If accepted, abstracts must be presented at the 2024 AABB Annual Meeting. The presenting author must register for the meeting, prepare their poster (or oral presentation if selected) and present in-person during the assigned session time. Oral abstract presenters will receive complimentary registration for the day that they are presenting. If the presenting author is unable to attend, a replacement presenting author can attend on their behalf. Failure to find another presenting author will potentially result in future restrictions on abstract submission.
Outstanding Abstract Award for Trainees
AABB will present up to ten Outstanding Abstract Awards for Trainees, chosen by peer review for scientific merit and abstract quality. Recipients will receive a $500 award and will be recognized for their achievement at the Plenary Abstract Session at the Annual Meeting.
Trainee awards will be presented in each of the following categories:
To be eligible, the applicant must be a trainee or have been a trainee within 12 months of the start date of the 2024 AABB Annual Meeting. The applicant must also be the first author, who will present the abstract. Submissions will require documentation of eligibility.
Top Poster Awards
Top Posters will be recognized in a dedicated Top Poster area onsite and in the virtual poster hall. Presenting authors of the Top Posters will be asked to participate in a curated poster tour, an interactive event followed by an expert-moderated discussion with the audience. Top Posters are highlighted in the Transfusion journal abstract supplement.
Best Biotherapies Abstract Award
The Best Biotherapies Abstract Award will recognize one abstract that represents the highest quality novel ideas. The recipient will receive complimentary airfare, hotel, and complete registration to attend the AABB Annual Meeting. Recognition for this award will be announced during the Plenary Abstract Session at the Annual Meeting and will be highlighted in the Transfusion journal abstract supplement.
No, you can submit as many abstracts as you would like.
The categories and keywords can be found on page two in the Abstract Submission Proposal Guide.
Please email professionaldevelopment@aabb.org if you have questions about the submission process or timeline.
Yes. If accepted, abstracts must be presented in-person at the annual meeting. The presenting author must register for the meeting, prepare their poster (or oral presentation if selected) and present during their assigned session time. If the presenting author cannot attend, an individual may take their place. Failure to present the abstract in-person, without adequate notification and justification, may prevent the authors from submitting abstracts to future meetings. All posters must be mounted throughout the duration of the designated time and may not be removed early for any reason.
If the abstract is selected as a plenary or oral abstract, the presenting author will receive complimentary meeting registration for the day of the educational session in which they participate. Poster abstract presenters, session table monitors, assessors, and grant recipients do not receive complimentary registration under this policy.
If your abstract is accepted as a poster, we will provide printing instructions when you receive the final notification email at the end of July.
