Welcome to the online abstract submission site for the
Emerging Technology Session to be held during the
12th World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery (WCES),
jointly hosted by SAGES & CAGS.

The 2010 12th WCES meeting will be held April 14-17,
at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center
in National Harbor, MD (just outside Washington, DC).

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION HAS PASSED. Notifications will be sent by end of February 2010.

ONLY abstracts reviewers will be able to access this site at this time.

This category of abstract is open to both physicians and industry engineers/scientists/researchers. It should be used for reporting on cutting edge or emerging technologies for which formal experimental data may not yet be available. Developers and inventors are encouraged to present their own work!

IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO SUBMIT OR DISCUSS ANY IDEAS OR INVENTIONS, before you submit or discuss them, please keep in mind that discussing or displaying them at this meeting may be considered a public disclosure of the idea or invention, which can negatively affect your right to protect that idea or invention. You may also have duties to your employer relating to that idea or invention, and should discuss the impact of a disclosure with the proper representatives of your employer before you submit or discuss it.

Abstracts will be accepted until January 29, 2010 and will undergo an expedited review process. This session is appropriate for technologies that may still be under development. Since the Emerging Technology session will not include CME credit, topics are not limited to formal studies or experiments but may include description based abstracts or very preliminary results. Presentations will be 5 to 10 minutes in length. Accepted abstracts will be published in the official 12th World Congress Final Program to be distributed onsite.

Your abstract should contain 500 words or less in the abstract body (does not include title or authors) in order to be accepted for review.

If you submitted an abstract via this system for the Scientific Session, you do need to create a new account for this year (the link to create a new account is below the login box)
