Abstracts
-
CAPS27 features an open abstract submission program. We invite researchers, clinicians, and scholars from across the region and beyond to share their work.
Key dates
- Abstract submissions open — Friday 7 August 2026
- Abstract submission close — Friday 18 September 2026
- Authors notified of acceptance — Friday 16 October 2026
- Author confirmation of participation closes — Thursday 29 October 2026
The submission window is short by design. Speaker spots are limited, and we close and review abstracts early so acceptances are confirmed well before early-bird registration ends to give accepted presenters time to book at the best rate.
Talk, symposium or poster submission
Submissions will be considered for:
- Talks (either 20min +5min Q&A, or 12min +3min) – individual presentations of new research or insight.
- Symposia (50min +10min Q&A) – themed sessions bringing together multiple speakers around a topic.
- Posters – visual presentations with dedicated networking sessions.
Abstracts are welcomed across all four conference themes: Substrate, Therapeutics, Society, and Meaning.

Workshop submissions
We also welcome submissions to deliver a full or half day workshop on the 23rd Feb 2027. Submissions for workshops are completed via this dedicated submission button below, and not the abstract portal.
