Disclosures
The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) must ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in all educational activities. Therefore, as a person who is in position to influence or control the content of a CME activity, ALL abstract authors must disclose all financial relationships held in the past 24 months with ineligible companies.* If the financial relationship has occurred in the past 24 months, but has since ended, we still require you to disclose the relationship.

Disclosures can be submitted/updated here.
PREVIOUS PUBLICATION OR PRESENTATION
Abstracts which have been published in journals, meeting proceedings, or other publication, as well as those presented at meetings prior to the SRS meeting to which authors wish to submit are NOT eligible for submission. Only abstracts that have NOT been previously published or presented are eligible for submission.
ADVANCE PRESENTATION SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT
All presentations must clear a CME review conducted by the SRS CME Committee. Presenters will be required to submit presentation slides for review before the meeting and may be asked to make small or significant changes if a bias issue is found. Directions for submitting presentation slides can be found on the Annual Meeting website. Failure to address pertinent CME review issues will result in pulling the presentation from the program, a one-year ban for abstract presentations, and a three-year ban for invited presentations.

Authors unable to present their paper in person should inform SRS as soon as possible which co-author will present in their place. If no one is able to present the paper, SRS must be informed by June 4, 2024, so an alternate paper can be substituted.

At least one author or co-author on all E-Point presentations is expected to register to attend the meeting by the deadline set forth in their acceptance notification.
