Important Reminders
*NEW POSTER SPOTLIGHT SESSION! This year, we will highlight a number of the top scoring posters in a 'Poster Spotlight Session'. Posters selected for this session will be presented from the podium as part of the general assembly. More presentation details will be provided to those selected for this session. Posters may also be selected by the Program Committee for 'Poster Presentation' or 'Poster Display' as in the past. These categories remain the same. Poster presenters are not required to submit to SURGERY for publication.

  • The 2025 AAES Annual Meeting will be an in-person event held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. All presentations (Podium and Poster) will be given in person.  
  • Only original research will be considered (must not have been previously presented, published, or under review for publication).
  • There is a 350-word limit for abstracts. One table or graphic is allowed and should provide meaningful information beyond that in the body of the abstract. Avoid including tables containing a large amount of uninterpreted data.
  • The abstract copy MUST include the following: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusion.
  • NO reference to the authors or the institution should appear within the title or body of the abstract. The abstract will automatically be rejected.
  • Please do not submit case reports. A call for Interesting Case Submissions will be made after the abstract submission has been closed.
  • In accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), authors will be required to disclose all financial relationships with any companies they have had over the past 24 months.  Omission or misrepresentation of financial relationships is academic dishonesty. Evidence of such that is discovered before, during, or after the AAES Meeting will lead to the removal of the abstract from the program and the published proceedings, referral to the Ethics Committee and AAES Council for punitive action up to and including a ban from presenting at future AAES Meetings. For more information on the Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education, please visit accme.org/standards. 
  • For trainees wishing to compete in the trainee award competition, select ‘yes’ to answer the relevant question. Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the Program committee. The top abstracts will be selected for participation in the various competitions, and podium presentations will be scored during the scientific sessions. Abstracts selected for the competition will be denoted as such in the final program and trainees notified prior to the meeting.

Submissions for Interesting Cases will take place after the scientific program abstracts have been selected.
