WHO can submit a presentation? Any researcher, trainee (PhD or Postdocs), and research staff conducting research on dementia or brain health.
Can the presentation have MULTIPLE AUTHORS? Yes, but the person submitting the presentation should be the first author and the speaker.
WHAT should the presentation cover? The presentation should cover research that fits the sessions’ theme (see themes below). The presentation is short (10 minutes) and should provide a brief summary of key findings as well as look into the future of this line of research. At least one plain language slide is required to help all attendees follow the main points.
Can I submit for MORE THAN ONE Tik-Talk session? Yes, but we will prioritize giving as many individuals as possible the opportunity to present. Therefore, the likelihood of being accepted to give more than one presentation is low.
HOW will presentations be selected? We will populate the Tik-Talk sessions with presentations on a first-come-first-served basis while ensuring that as many people as possible are represented.
HOW will I know if my presentation was accepted? We will send a confirmation email to all the presenters after the submission deadline.

Abstract submission guidelines for all
Abstract
Total text cannot exceed 800 characters, including spaces. Verify character count prior to entry.
Bullet points are not permitted in the abstract.
References must be included in the abstract body.
Plain language summary:
A plain language summary is required for all entries.
The plain language summary should be constructed around four questions: 1) What is the question we studied? 2) How did we study it? 3) What did we find? 4) Why does it matter?
Total text cannot exceed 500 characters, including spaces.
This plain language summary will be shared with lived experience and community partners attending the conference, and will assist them in better understanding your poster. Imagine you are describing your project to someone you know who does not have the same academic background as yours (or any).
