Abstract Submission
Abstract submission for The Obesity
Society's 2008 Annual Scientific Meeting, October 3
– 7, 2008, in Phoenix, AZ, has now closed. We use a
completely online system for scientific abstract
creation, submission, review, and publication. This
system is fully integrated with our online Live Learning
Center and streamlines the processes by which
investigators create and submit their abstracts.
All accepted abstracts will be published online as well
as in print.For 2008, the submission fee is $50 per
abstract.The login page for The Obesity
Society’s Abstract Submission site is located at: http://www.softconference.com/naaso/2008abstracts.asp.
If you established an Abstract Submission Account in this
system for a previous Obesity Society Annual Scientific
Meeting and are using the same e-mail address, you will
not have to establish a new account in 2008. Simply
use the “Register/Password Reminder” section to
receive an e-mail reminding you of your password.
This will save you time and will allow you to quickly
begin creating your new abstracts.Be sure to download the Instructions for Authors,
General Guidelines for Submission, and Guidelines for
Avoiding Pejorative Language and Images files that appear
on the main page of the Abstract Submission Site.
For 2008, there are new abstract submission categories
and a new review/verification step prior to paying for
and submitting your abstract.
Deadline for final submission of all
abstracts: 11:59 PM (23:59), Eastern Time, on Tuesday,
April 22, 2008.
