  2. Abstracts (200-500 words) can be submitted via a secure online portal before the deadline. Submitters can submit up to 3 applications per company.
  3. Submissions are reviewed and graded by our esteemed Advisory Boards and selected based on innovation, relevance and industry impact.
  4. Successful applications will have the opportunity to present, in person, at the event.
