Abstract Instructions
Abstract Submission - Step 1
AFRAQ24 encourages the submission of high quality oral and poster presentations. We
strongly encourage authors to consider poster presentations because poster sessions will be an
integral part of the program. Papers submitted for “oral presentation only” may not be accepted
as oral presentations due to the limited number of available time slots. English is strongly
encouraged, but three other official languages (French, Portuguese and Arabic) are accepted.
PowerPoint Presentations/Slides are strongly encouraged in English for everyone to
follow through.
Each oral presenter shall be entitled to no more than 20 minutes comprised of 15 minutes for a
presentation, plus 5 minutes for questions. Authors of studies involving proprietary products or
formulations should present this information in workshops or the trade show. Oral presentations
can only use PowerPoint. Overhead projectors, slides and video players will not be available or
allowed.
All presenters are required to pay their own registration accommodation and travel
expenses.
AFRAQ2024 cannot subsidize registration fees, travel or hotel costs.
No Abstract Book will be printed - an Abstract Book will be avilable online.
