Abstract submission / IMCAS Industry Tribune

Step 1 : Guidelines

 

IMCAS organises each year the IMCAS INDUSTRY INNOVATION TRIBUNE and has the pleasure of welcoming most of the leading companies dealing with the aesthetic medical market.

The aims of IMCAS TRIBUNE are:

  • to appraise and analyse the aesthetic medical market on a worldwide basis
  • to present the opinion of experts about the evolution of the aesthetic market
  • to allow our attendees to find their bearings in the medical aesthetic field.

You will have to go through three different steps to complete this submission process:

  • STEP 1 -> carefully read the guidelines below
  • STEP 2 -> submit your lecture, poster or e-paper abstract
  • STEP 3 -> fill in our Conflict of Interests Form

WHO? Participant's educational background requirements

He/she has to be:

  • an industrial representative specialized within the aesthetic medical market
  • OR a financial analyst specialized within the aesthetic medical market
  • OR an economic or medical journalist specialized within the aesthetic medical market

The authors' academic degrees must be attached within the "Short Biostatement" field, later on within this submission.

WHAT? The content

In general

Place special or unusual abbreviations in parentheses after the full wording at the first time it appears in the body of the text. Standard abbreviations may be employed in the text.

It is the author's responsibility to submit a correct abstract. Any errors in spelling, grammar, or scientific fact will be reproduced as typed by the author.

Please note that each year, some abstract submissions are rejected because the content doesn't future actual data or is poorly drafted. Changes to abstracts can only be accepted until the deadline using the Personal Page.

Specifically

In order to make the abstract as informative as possible, please include a brief statement of the purpose of the lecture, the method used, the result observed if a study is involved, and the conclusions based upon the results. It is inadequate to state that "The results will be discussed" or "The data will be presented".

You may subtitle the paragraphs in bold format in the following order:

  • Introduction
  • Materials and methods
  • Results
  • Analysis
  • Discussion
Although you will obviously introduce your company products and labels (abstract title and body text could include trade names), keep in mind that the TRIBUNE is not a commercial platform. The abstract submitted is carefully reviewed by the IMCAS Industry Tribune Committee who requires that scientific data proving the company claims are provided as far as confidentiality will allow. You will be asked to attach any necessary document(s) on Step 2.

References, credits or the authors' academic degrees or grant support must not be included in the abstract.
