Before you submit an abstract

Six checks that save a rejected or withdrawn abstract.

Confirm you're eligibleMany competitions require the first author to be a member, and some limit how many entries one person can submit.
Convert the deadlineDeadlines run on the organizer's clock, often Eastern, Pacific or UK time. Put the converted time in your calendar.
Check the prior-publication ruleMost meetings won't take work that was published or accepted for publication before their deadline. Read the encore rules before you submit the same work twice.
Get your mentor's eyes on it earlySome societies ask trainees to have a faculty mentor review the abstract first. Build in a week for edits.
Budget for the whole tripSubmission fees, registration and travel are usually separate, and accepted presenters are often expected to present in person.
Plan one project, several outputsA clinical vignette can become a poster, then a case report. Map the deadlines together so each step feeds the next.
