Guidelines

All abstracts must be submitted online to DIAglobal.org/Abstract. The deadline for abstract submissions is September 12, 11:59PM ET. The original deadline has been extended.
Please note: once on the DIA abstract submission homepage, you must select the DIA 2025 Call for Abstracts General Session link.
Submitted abstracts must not overtly endorse or recommend a specific product or service. To review DIA’s Policy Concerning Promotion of Products and Services from the Podium at DIA-sponsored Programs, click here.
Only full session, forum, workshop, and short course abstracts will be accepted; presentation abstracts will NOT be accepted.
Proposed abstract title must reflect the abstract content accurately and concisely.
Co-presenters, including Co-chairs, will not be allowed. DIA does not allow more than one participant from the same company to present within the same program offering (this includes Session Chairs and speakers).
The abstract author is considered the session chair and will be responsible for the following:

Recruiting speakers and ensuring good representation/diversity in the selection of speakers Please note: No more than one participant from the same company is permitted to speak within the same program offering; the Annual Meeting has a global focus, and therefore we encourage global perspectives
Communicating with speakers regarding their role and reviewing presentation materials
Managing the program offering, including the facilitation of audience questions and answers

At the time of submitting a session or forum abstract, please indicate at least one individual who will be invited to participate in the offering in the abstract text section of the abstract. Please do not extend an invitation until a formal response from DIA has been received.
If leading a workshop: Ensuring the workshop provides onsite learning in the form of activities or demonstrations

Be informed and stay engaged.
