REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT

All presenters—including both poster and oral presenters—must complete registration for the SFG 2026 Annual Meeting before submitting an abstract. Registration and abstract submission are managed through separate portals. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with access to the abstract submission system. Access is restricted to registered attendees only.

PRESENTER FORMATS

Keynote Presenter (Oral Presentation) 
Keynote Presenters are invited by SFG to present featured talks. Presentations are 15 minutes, followed by 4–5 minutes for questions, with a strict 20-minute maximum. Registration instructions will be provided in July, and additional speaker details will be shared in by mid-October.

Short Talk (Oral Presentation) + Poster Presenter
A limited number of presenters will be selected to give a 5-minute oral presentation as well as present their poster during designated sessions. There is no Q&A during the oral presentation; questions are encouraged during the poster session. Talks are strictly limited to 5 minutes. Authors interested in being considered for a short talk should indicate their interest during abstract submission. Additional presentation details will be provided to selected presenters by mid-October.
