Submit the Best Abstract Possible—a webinar hosted by EKO

Thanks for joining us to explore ways to ensure your work is a must-have at the EKO Spring Symposium 2027

This year, we hosted two webinar sessions to support submitters in developing strong, compelling abstracts for the EKO Spring Symposium 2027. These sessions provided practical guidance on how to clearly communicate your ideas and align your work with symposium themes. 

A few key takeaways from our first webinar session:

  • Read the abstract submissions guidelines—and check the abstract adjudication form
  • Consider your audience—would someone outside your field understand the abstract?
  • Focus on impact—stories are the most memorable means of communication.
  • Pitch before you write—are others as excited about your idea as you are?


Thank you to those who attended our second session on September 10! Our speakers shared their unique insights and provided practical tips that all potential presenters should know before hitting submit. Don't worry, we will be posting the recording on this page shortly.
