Deadline to Submit: 5:00 pm Central on October 15, 2024
Presentation Topics

developing partnerships. Presentation topic options include, but are not limited to:
- Administration
- Creative strategies
- Diverse populations
- Financing
- Prevention/promotion

Oral Presentations
Most sessions are 45 minutes in length and should allow for discussion time. This is a competitive process and not all abstracts are accepted for oral presentations. Additionally, in some instances, the committee may ask that you fill a 15, 30, or 60 minute slot.
Presentations with more than three speakers must send additional speaker information to brittany.dryburgh@UND.edu. Be sure to include the name of the presentation and the names of all authors presenting.

Poster Presentations
Poster presentation sessions occur during a 45-minute session of the conference. The three highest scoring posters will be given 10 minutes to present their poster information.
In the event that there is more than one author on a poster, only one author/presenter is required to register for the conference (but all presenters are welcome to attend and receive the discounted presenter registration fee). Any author attending/presenting/displaying at the conference must be registered as a conference attendee. Those selected to give an oral presentation of their poster must submit a slide of their poster (as a PowerPoint) by May 7, 2025 so that it can be reviewed for continuing education approval. A slide of the poster will be projected during the oral poster presentation. No other slides will be allowed to be used. Handouts must be submitted by May 7, 2025 to be posted online for participants to access.
Failure to display a selected poster presentation at the full-time duration at the conference will result in an automatic $50.00 cancellation fee and will jeopardize the selection of future abstracts for both oral and poster presentations. Penalties may not apply under extenuating circumstances approved by the planning committee prior to the start of the conference.
Posters with more than three authors must send additional speaker information to brittany.dryburgh@UND.edu. Be sure to include the name of the poster and the names of all authors presenting.
