Poster Abstracts
Abstract submissions should consist of published or unpublished research or clinical case presentations, or new solutions for
management/husbandry problems. Abstracts are designated for either poster, special topic lecture, or “What’s Your Diagnosis”;
awards are presented to the best poster from each of the poster section categories. Members and nonmembers are eligible to
submit abstracts. And, unlike many other professional societies, AALAS does not charge an abstract submission fee.
Abstract Preparation and Submission
The purpose of an abstract is to provide a clear and concise summary of the information to be presented in greater detail
in a paper, oral presentation, or poster session. An abstract usually contains some of the major components of a research
paper (hypothesis, conclusion), but presents the information in a single paragraph.
All abstracts should meet these criteria:

Special Topic Lectures (STLs) are formal presentations given by a single speaker on a specific topic, pre-planned topic.
These presentations typically have a main speaker, in addition to a moderator and a facilitator. A moderator
introduces the presenter, keeps the presenter within the time permitted, and help addresses any question/answers from
the audience. Special Topic Lectures should be original information that can be presented in approximately 40 minutes
or less to allow for questions. Presentations should be relevent to the research community in the
represented tracks of Management/Training, Technical Trade and Research, and Animal Care and Welfare.
Most presentations can be represented under one of the three tracks, therefore, authors are encouraged to submit
their abstracts, even if they feel it may not fit one of these tracks.
