Online Abstract Submission
Papers that are accepted by the organising committee will be subject to peer review. The selection criteria include relevance to the conference theme, accuracy and originality of ideas, significance of the contribution and quality of presentation. All accepted extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings and presented at conference technical sessions. All presenting authors are required to pay and attend the conference to present their extended abstracts.
Guidelines
Abstracts/papers must be submitted as a PDF document only using the specific format as per the abstract template submitted through the abstract submission portal on the conference website. Submissions will not be accepted via email.
The Committee may, if necessary, limit the number of presentations per author. Presenters of accepted abstracts are required to register and pay to attend the Conference as a delegate. Submission of abstracts implies the author’s agreement to publish their abstract on the conference website. Authors must arrange and pay their own accommodation, travel and expenses to attend the Conference.
Once the abstract submission deadline has passed, the organising committee will review all submitted abstracts. Authors will then be notified whether or not the abstract has been accepted for the program and whether an extended abstract or full paper is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to submit a paper if I am presenting a poster?
You are able to submit a full paper if you want, but it is not a requirement of submitting for a poster presentation.
Am I required to write a full paper if giving an oral presentation?
Industry authors are only required to submit an extended abstract, but can submit a full paper if they want. All other authors are required to submit a full paper for peer review.
Am I required to submit a full paper if I am a student?
If you are selected to give an oral presentation you will need to write a full paper for peer review. If you are selected or nominate for a poster presentation a full paper is not required.
Are industry authors required to submit a full paper?
Industry presenters have the option to submit either a full paper or extended abstract.
If I select to give an oral presentation will I be guaranteed an oral presentation in the program?
Oral presentations will be selected based on merit. Some presentations that have been nominated as oral may be asked to submit for a poster presentation.
Can I get an invitation letter to expedite obtaining a Visa to enter Australia?
Yes, if you have been selected as part of the program and have registered, you can request a letter of invitation from AusIMM for your visa application. The conference has also been registered with the International Event Coordinator Network (IECN) to assist with Visa applications.
Where do I submit my abstract?
Submit your abstract via the Abstract Submission Portal. Instructions on how to submit your abstract can be found on the home page of the portal.
Do I need to use a template?
Yes – you will need to format your abstract using the abstract template. This can be found within the Abstract Submission Portal.
How long does the abstract review process take?
The abstract review process begins after the abstract submission deadline has passed. It usually takes around four weeks for the organising committee to review all submitted abstracts and reach a decision. This may take longer if the number of abstracts submitted exceeds expectations.
How will I know if my abstract has been accepted?
We will contact you via email regardless of the outcome.
I have missed the deadline. Can I still submit my abstract?
