Cancel abstracts

Abstract management


As an organiser, you can cancel accepted or already scheduled abstracts to take them out of the planning phase.

Note:

  • cancelled abstracts are recognizable as cancellations in the program planning, so that they can be easily replaced if necessary

  • cancelled abstracts are recorded statistically


Option 1: Cancel abstracts in the "Abstracts & Reviews" menu - detailed view

Navigate to > Abstracts & Reviews > Manage abstracts
