Now two important portals for presenters

SABCS 2024 is less than a month away and we have now launched the Presenter Submission Portal, allowing presenters to upload their presentations, audio files and posters. At the same time, the Abstract Submission Portal is still important. It’s where presenters can submit their financial disclosure information, view their co-authors, and make any necessary updates to biographical information. Be sure and log in to both portals as you are finishing up your presentation preparation.


Affiliate Meetings deadline extended to December 2

More than 300 Affiliate Meetings are already scheduled during SABCS 2024. Now the deadline to apply to add your meeting has been extended to Monday, December 2. Head over to our Satellite Symposia and Affiliate Meetings web page to see times meetings can be held, read guidelines, and submit your application.
