AOS 2024 FAQ

Q: Rosh Hashanah coincides with this year’s meeting dates. Can you accommodate a request regarding scheduling needs for presentations to allow for observance of Rosh Hashanah?

A: The AOS 2024 science program has many moving parts to balance; in general we cannot accommodate special requests to schedule your presentation for any particular day of the meeting. However, the meeting dates this year coincide with the Jewish High Holy Day of Rosh Hashanah. We will be hosting an informal gathering at the conference site for those who celebrate, and we are working on providing options for those who wish to attend services locally. We will also do our best to accommodate scheduling needs for this reason. Once you receive an acceptance email, you will have the option to notify Emily Cohen, Science Program Committee co-chair, with your specific scheduling need regarding Rosh Hashanah.

Q: How many abstracts / presentations can I submit? 

A: Attendees who have been invited to present in an accepted symposium have the option to additionally submit an abstract for a contributed oral presentation. However, if we have more oral presentation submissions than we can support, those who are already presenting in a symposium will be asked to give a poster. 

Q: Can I submit a pre-recorded or virtual presentation for AOS 2024?

A: AOS 2024 will be an exclusively in-person meeting and we will not have the capacity to support pre-recorded or virtual presentations.

Q: My original abstract in English is under 250 words; however, when I translated this abstract to Spanish, I just cannot get it down to 250 words without changing the meaning. Is it ok if the Spanish translation of my abstract is over the word limit if my English abstract is under? 

A: We increased the Spanish abstract text box to 2,000 characters for this reason.
