FAQs - Virtual Conference

• Virtual Format/Program

  The 2020 SPER Virtual Conference will be held on December 15th. We are currently in the process of confirming participation for sessions previously planned for the in person conference. All sessions will be live sessions held over Zoom Webinars. Once the sessions are finalized, additional information will be added to the website.

• Abstract Acceptance - Oral Presentation

  Individuals who were selected for an oral presentation are invited to continue in the virtual format. Sue Bevan will be in touch to confirm your participation. Presenters must be registered by October 31st, 2020 in order to be eligible to present.

• Abstract Acceptance - Poster Presentation

  Though there will not be a poster session as part of the Virtual Annual Meeting, SPER is sponsoring a special issue of Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology that will include all abstracts that were accepted for presentation at the meeting to recognize research contributions. In order to have your abstract included in the special issue of PPE, your membership must be up-to-date by October 31^st, 2020.
