Success Story

• Suggestion from Keystone:

• “Authors will be required to assign their abstract to one of the 6 topic areas in the Call for papers. This will speed up the abstract review process.”

• Suggestion Worked Well

• Very few abstracts out of place

• Coupled with the Abstract Review Topic Preference Sheet, made assigning abstracts for review an easy process

• As a result, AFM first to assemble sessions
