The 2009 ARC submission site is now closed.

1. At least one author must be an SUR, SGR, ESUR or ESGAR member. There is one exception to this rule. For SGR abstract submissions, non-members can submit abstracts with a recommendation from a Society member. This recommendation must be stated in a letter, which is sent at the same time that the abstract is submitted online. This letter can be emailed to arc@meetingmanagers.com. Please also note that priority will be given to work that has not been presented at a prior meeting. Papers or posters previously presented or published are not eligible for SGR paper or poster awards.
   
   
2. Abstracts for papers and posters should be limited to 200 words and divided into four paragraphs with the following headings:
   o Purpose
   o Materials and Methods
   o Results (including statistical significance when needed)
   o Conclusions (including clinical relevance)
   
   
3. Posters will be displayed on one 4' high x 8' wide panel and must not exceed these dimensions. There will be no back-lit illumination. Posters must be hung by either Velcro or push pins. Presenters are responsible for transporting, hanging, and removing the poster. For optimal viewing, you may prefer to produce your poster with non-glossy paper. Authors should plan to display posters by Saturday, March 14th between 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. To be considered for awards, posters must be available for viewing on Sunday, March 15th at 7:00 a.m. Posters must be dismantled between 12 noon and 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 20th. Posters may not be removed prior to this time.
