IAIA23: Submit an Abstract
Guidelines and Policies for Potential Paper or Poster Presenters/Speakers
Thank you for your interest in IAIA’s annual conference, to be held 8-11 May 2023 in Kuching, Malaysia. This year’s theme is “Resilience through impact assessment and leadership.”
To ensure a smooth abstract submission and follow-up process, please note the following information, guidelines, and policies.
Potential presenters are required to check the bottom of this form confirming that they have read and understand this information before continuing the submission process.
____________________________________________________________________________
All Presenters/Speakers Must Submit an Abstract
A paper is the oral summary of the findings of a prepared paper, research, or project. Even if you do not have a written paper and/or do not expect to prepare a written paper, i.e., if you are an invited speaker, panelist, workshop participant, etc., you are considered an “author” and must submit an abstract. The “abstract” is the description of what you will be presenting or discussing.
In a poster session, there is no formal oral presentation; instead, the author is assigned a display area on which diagrams, graphics, data, pictures/photos, and a small amount of text are presented. The abstract is the summary of what you will be presenting visually.
Two options for abstract submissions are available:
- Submit a Paper abstract for in-person presentation in Kuching.
- Submit a Poster abstract for in-person presentation in Kuching.
No pre-recorded or streamed presentations will be possible.
Submission Deadline and Confirmation of Submission
The deadline for abstracts is 7 November 2022. Submissions close at 11:59pm US Central Standard Time. (No exceptions.) It is your responsibility to address questions about submissions to HQ before this date so that if there is a problem, we can still help you make the submission on time.
All abstracts must be submitted via the online form. Abstracts not sent via the online form will not be considered.
Upon successful submission of your abstract, you will receive an automatic e-mail notice. Be sure to save the confirmation of submission notice for reference in case of a problem or question. If you do not receive the notice, please check your spam filter (see “Communications from IAIA” below.) If it is not there and you have not received a notice, your abstract has not been successfully submitted. Please try again, or contact jen@iaia.org for assistance.

Presenting Author/Speaker
Do not submit an abstract on behalf of someone else or with someone else’s email address. This ensures that the submission record is correct and the presenter receives important conference communications from the beginning of the process.
Please ensure that the person who will be making the presentation at the conference (hereinafter referred to as “you”) is listed as the “Presenting Author,” even if that person is not, e.g., the lead writer or researcher of the paper or project.
Number of Submissions
Participation as a session chair, a session co-chair, a presenting author of a paper or poster, or speaker or other participant of any kind is limited to one session per person.
For example, you may 1) chair one session, 2) co-chair one session, or 3) be the presenter of one paper or one poster. You may be a co-author of a paper and/or a poster (i.e., not the person making the presentation) an unlimited number of times.
If your name is attached to more than one submission as a session chair, co-chair, or presenting author, only your first submission will be considered. Additional submissions and/or your name on additional submissions will be dropped from the program without further notice.
There is one exception: session chairs/co-chairs may submit abstracts to the sessions they are chairing; however, they should plan to be the last speaker in the session.
Changing or substituting presenting authors is not permitted after the session chair/presenting
author registration deadline of 8 February 2023. A substitute may not exceed the one session-
per-person rule.
Language
The primary language of the conference is English, and your abstract should be submitted in English.
Registration
Presenting authors are required to register and pay fees by 8 February 2023. At that time, your presentation will be dropped from the program if you are not yet registered with fees paid in full. (No exceptions.)
Registration is available online beginning in October.
Funding and Visas
If you plan to attend in-person, please submit your abstract only if you have a budget to attend the conference or are very likely to have funding available by the registration deadline. You are encouraged to begin planning visa arrangements now, as the process can take several months.
You are responsible for arranging your own funding; IAIA does not have funds available to pay registration or travel expenses.

Please respect deadlines, submission guidelines, and registration policies, as they are firm. No exceptions will be made.
You are encouraged to mark your calendar with important dates and make plans before deadlines in order to avoid unexpected work or travel conflicts, technical problems, or other delays.
