Call for Abstract and Film Festival Submissions

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) is pleased to announce the call for abstracts for the 2020 Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting: Driving Healthcare Excellence in a High-Tech World at The Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Washington on April 24 – 27, 2020.

ACOG accepts abstracts to be considered for an oral, poster or film presentation. Both oral or poster presentation abstracts must be original work, and not previously published or presented at non-ACOG scientific meetings. All submissions are peer reviewed and scored based on: scientific merit, originality, and relevancy to obstetrics and gynecology.

The deadline to submit an abstract and/or film for consideration is Monday, October 14, 2019, 11:59 PM EDT. You will be notified of your acceptance for either an oral, poster or film presentation in January 2020. The presenting author of accepted submissions must attend the 2020 Annual Meeting to present the abstract and/or film.

Submission Requirements and Information

Oral Presentations
A limited number of meritorious abstracts will be accepted for oral presentations. The presentations are limited to 7 minutes for presentation followed by 3 minutes for questions-and-answers. Accepted oral presentations will be eligible for awards of $500, $200, and $100. More detailed information about this will be provided upon acceptance of your abstract.
