The poster proposal submission process for INORMS 2020 will be through an online submission portal. Those interested in presenting a poster at INORMS 2020 are requested to create a new account and submit a proposal for review according to the guidelines below. Registration for the Congress is through a separate online registration site for which you will need to create another new account. Please note that the abstract online submission portal (now closed), the poster proposal online submission portal, and the online registration site are not interlocked, and it is thus necessary to create new user accounts for each site. Please keep a note of the email address and password used for all sites for future use. If you require any assistance or have queries about the online submission portal, contact the INORMS 2021 Abstract Desk.

*Conference Registration is ready at any time even before proposal submission.

Please follow the following guidelines when preparing poster proposals for submission to INORMS 2020. Proposals that are not correctly formatted will not be reviewed.

How to use the online submission portal

The Presenting Author (the main contact person for the proposal) must first create a new account in the online submission portal. Please keep a record of the account details for future use.

IMPORTANT: Please note that you can save your submission as a draft and return to edit it later. Submitted proposals cannot be edited after the submission deadline.
On successful submission of the proposal, a confirmation email will be sent to the Presenting Author. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please check that your proposal is fully submitted and not saved as a draft by logging in to the portal and checking the Proposal Submission Status page.
If you require any assistance regarding the submission of your proposal, contact the INORMS 2021 Abstract Desk.
