Prior to submitting your abstract, please carefully review the guidelines and considerations provided below. Submission signifies your agreement to adhere to these guidelines. If you do not intend to comply, kindly refrain from submitting your abstract.

• Authors who are not members of IOHSK will have their names excluded from the program and the conference proceedings journal.

• Both primary and co-authors must hold active IOHSK memberships to submit a proposal.

• If you plan to submit an abstract with multiple authors, please note that all listed authors must be registered IOHSK members at the time of submission. However, if any of the listed authors are unable to attend the conference, conference registration is NOT required for those individuals, and a certificate of presentation will not be issued to authors who do not register and attend.

• Each individual may serve as the first author on no more than three (3) proposals.

• Each individual may be listed as an author on no more than five (5) proposals in total.

• Please allow the Conference Evaluation Committee a minimum of 15 business days (approximately 3 weeks) to notify you of the acceptance or rejection of your abstract.

• If your abstract is accepted, conference registration must be completed within 14 days of notification; failure to register will result in forfeiture of your presentation slot.

• Please note that on-site registration and payment are not available. Each author must register and pay under their own name. Payments made on behalf of others cannot be processed or linked to their registrations. 

• Purchase Orders (POs) issued by your department or university to make payments on your behalf will not be accepted. Therefore, please work with your department or university to arrange the reimbursement process independently.

• It is strongly recommended that you obtain travel insurance, either through your department or university or purchased personally, to cover your attendance at the conference. Additionally, a waiver form, required by IOHSK, must be signed prior to attending the conference.

• A waiver form for attending a conference is a legal document that in-person/onsite conference participants are required to sign, typically to acknowledge and accept specific terms, conditions, and risks associated with attending the conference. It is used to protect the organizing entity (e.g., IOHSK and CAU) from liability in case of unforeseen incidents, assumption of risk, release of liability, acknowledgement of policies, insurance responsibility, and health and safety requirements. This waiver form will be sent to you for review and signature along with the proposal acceptance email.
