The ASA is calling on sonographers to submit an abstract for a proffered presentation as part of the ASA2027 Adelaide Conference program, which will feature both invited speakers and submitted presentations.
Every year, the ASA Conference Program Committee invites national and international speakers to present at the conference. The committee also opens the opportunity for anyone to submit an abstract for presentation.
If you are interested in submitting an abstract, maybe for the first time, but are unsure where to start, we have you covered. Submitting an abstract for the ASA conference means that you are putting forward a presentation proposal for inclusion into the program. This might be an original research project, evidence-based case study, education overview, new or improved clinical technique, or a presentation on sonographer health and wellbeing.
Submitting an abstract for presentation at the annual conference is a great opportunity to share your clinical experience, knowledge or research with your peers. At ASA conferences, accepted abstracts may be presented in the form of oral presentations or posters. Submitted Abstracts should contain original work that has not been previously presented.
Let us guide you through the steps to submitting an abstract and explain the requirements for submission. The process is very simple. We encourage you to watch the videos from Kerry Thoirs, ASA's Research and Standards Manager, to help you through the process.

The Program Committee will aim to place all proposed oral presentations within themed sessions. Presentations will be made to an audience of delegates interested in that topic and alongside some of the world's ultrasound experts. Sometimes it is necessary to have a session which is solely proffered presentations, and these sessions will include a variety of topics.
Invited speakers are also asked to provide an abstract or synopsis of their presentation. A synopsis is up to 250 words and
is an unstructured summary of a presentation. All abstracts and synopses will be published in the ASA’s Sonography journal in the ASA2027 Adelaide Conference Supplement booklet. This special issue of the journal will also be available online through the Sonography page on the Wiley Online Library website.
