Instructions for Oral, Lightning, and/or Poster Presentation Abstract Submission:

Participants are invited to submit abstracts for oral and/or poster presentations through www.conftool.org/issst2026. Abstracts should be 300 - 500 words and will be reviewed relative to four criteria: (1) Impact; (2) Originality; (3) Technical Quality; and (4) Completeness. The abstract should include a brief background/motivation but should focus on methods and results/anticipated results, or your proposed conference activity. Please note that abstracts will undergo a competitive review process, and the quality of your submission will determine acceptance for presentation in the conference.

ISSST encourages submissions from academics, researchers, students as well as professionals, and we aim for the symposium to represent our emerging diversity including gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, national origin, disability, career stage, professional affiliation, and educational journey.

During abstract submission, you can indicate the thematic area most appropriate for your abstract in the online submission form. In addition, please note your preference for an oral and/or poster presentation at the time of abstract submission.

The program committee will evaluate abstracts for acceptance into the program, designate them for a poster, lightning, or oral presentation, and place them within thematically organized sessions. Inquiries should be directed to issstnetwork@conoscente.net.

For full consideration, submit abstracts via ConfTool for oral presentations, lightning presentations, and poster presentations by Friday, January 9, 2026.

Abstract submission deadline is extended to January 16, 2026.
