NEW THIS YEAR - Option for early decisions for visa applications! We encourage our participants from countries that have experienced long wait times for approval of visas to the US to apply for their visas as early as possible!

Early decision notifications will be sent by July 26 for presenters to obtain their visa. Please note that early decision letters will not contain any presentation date, time, or session details. Presentation details will be included in the abstract notification emails sent by September 20.

Abstract Acceptance Criteria
To maximize your chances of acceptance, follow the submission requirements and keep in mind the following acceptance criteria used by the Program Committee:
- Choose your category and subcategory with care (this helps ensure the most informed review of your abstract.)
- The abstract must report a substantial advance in the science of magnetism and magnetic materials.
- The advance in knowledge must be both original and significant.
- The work reported must be substantially complete, with specific reference to new results. Sufficient context and details must be included to allow the Program Committee to make an assessment of the work.
- The Program Committee seeks to permit as many groups as possible to present their work. Groups or individuals considering the submission of several related abstracts should, wherever possible, combine them into a single submission.
- Inclusion of figures with recent data, calculations, or predictions is often an effective demonstration of complete work.
- The abstract must be written in clear English. If necessary, please have a native English speaker edit your abstract before submission.
