It is SVIN’s expectation that all accepted abstracts will, under all usual circumstances, be presented at the meeting. If the presenting author is unable to present an abstract, a co-author is eligible to present on their behalf. Failure to present an accepted abstract may cause the author(s) to be ineligible for abstract submission at next year’s annual meeting.

To request withdraw of an abstract prior to the submission deadline, please withdraw directly in the system. Following the submission deadline, all withdrawal requests must be requested in writing to the SVIN Speaker Team at education@svin.org. The final date to request a withdrawal will be October 7, 2025.
