Abstract Submission Information
SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT for the 2026 WCGALP meeting!
We invite contributions to parallel and poster sessions on topics indicated in Abstract categories and topics. All contributions require submission of an abstract (by November 14, 2025, and formatted following ASAS Abstract Quality Standards) and a 4-page paper (by January 30, 2026).
Contributions to parallel and poster sessions are limited to ONE per presenting author, except for submissions to the "Education, training, outreach" category. Thus, a presenting author can submit one or more abstracts under the "Education, training, outreach" category AND up to one abstract under any of the other categories.
If extenuating circumstances beyond the authors’ control prevent the presenting author to attend WCGALP in person, exceptions to the ONE per presenting author can be made. To request such an exception, please send an email to WCGALP2026@asas.org with the abstract ID, the names of the original and substitute presenters, and the reason for the request.
Contribution Categories:
- Oral (12 min presentation during a parallel session)
- Pitch + Poster (90 sec pitch during a parallel session + Poster)
- Poster only (Standard poster presentation without pitch)
- Invited Oral (Reserved for invited speakers to plenary and parallel sessions)
Note that space for oral and pitch presentations is limited and we cannot, therefore, guarantee that your preference will be awarded.
4-Page Paper:
Authors of accepted abstracts (authors will be notified by December 31, 2025) will be required to submit a 4-page paper using the same submission site and your abstract ID number by January 30, 2026. The submission site for the 4-page paper will be opened November 15, 2025. Formatting instructions and a template for the 4-page paper are:
