If significant editing is required, we will ask you to resubmit the abstract with the required changes. Battelle reserves the right to decline any abstract that contains excessive promotional/marketing content and/or does not fit the technical scope.
By submitting the abstract, you confirm that the proposed presentation will be original and that you have obtained any necessary permission (e.g., client approval, copyright) for the content. In addition, you agree to the following:
