Call for Abstracts

We invite you to participate in the 63rd annual Conference on Great Lakes Research be held June 8-12, 2020, at the RBC Convention Centre, Winnipeg, Canada. Fifty sessions have been proposed to complement the theme 2020: Focusing on the Future.

We welcome abstract submissions for both oral and poster presentations. All oral presentations will be scheduled for Tuesday, June 9, through Friday, June 12. Posters will be given a high profile on Tuesday evening and made available for viewing throughout the week.

We encourage authors to submit abstracts for specific sessions, but also will consider general contributions. If you are uncertain about the most suitable session for your paper, please contact the session chairs.

Abstract Submission

All abstracts must be submitted online. A nonrefundable, nontransferable $50 fee (USD) is charged for each abstract at the time of submission. (Have your Visa or MasterCard when you submit your abstract). A paid abstract fee does not imply conference registration, but will be credited toward your conference registration fee. If your abstract is not accepted and you do not plan to attend the conference, your $50 will be reimbursed.

You may submit only one abstract as first author; however, there is no limit to the number of abstracts that you may co-author.
