The Algae Biomass Organization is now accepting abstracts for speaking and poster opportunities for the 2025 Algae Biomass Summit, to be held on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe, Arizona, October 19-21st. See press release here.
The priority deadline is May 23rd. Abstracts submitted after this date will be reviewed as they are received. Those received by the deadline will be reviewed first and be given a higher priority. An announcement of acceptance will be sent June 26-28th (Wed-Fri) for those meeting the priority deadline.
Why submit an abstract? To expose your business and research to the world’s largest gathering of algal thought leaders. All abstracts selected for speaking and poster submission slots receive a discount for registration.
Review process: Abstracts are reviewed by experts in each primary topic area based on several criteria such as relevance, new data, clarity and importance to the field. Algae Biomass Organization members will be given preference. To become a member, go to the ABO’s Membership Benefits page.

The following four review criteria should be taken into consideration when preparing an abstract for the 2025 ABS.
1) Advances – Does the technology or process improve production, reduce costs, increase value or highlight a technological breakthrough?
2) Relevance – Does the abstract highlight advances in technology that will make significant near-term impacts?
3) Detail – Does the abstract provide experimental or analytical results that provide detailed information on the process or advance being reported on.
4) Clarity – Does the abstract indicate that the information is clearly communicated and understandable to a diverse spectrum of conference attendees?
