How to prepare your abstract
Abstracts are reviewed anonymously by the scientific committee. Submissions that fall outside these requirements may be returned or declined without review.
Language and file format
English only. Upload a single PDF or Word file (.pdf, .doc or .docx) no larger than 10 MB.
Length
Maximum 350 words in the body of the abstract. The title, author list and affiliations are not counted.

Studies involving patients should state institutional ethics approval. Remove all patient identifiers, including from images.
Anonymity for review
Review is blinded, so keep author names, institutions and city out of the body of the abstract. Your details go in the form below instead.
Required structure
Original research
- Background and aims
- Methods
- Results, with the actual data
- Conclusions
Case reports and vignettes
- Introduction
- Case description
- Discussion
- Learning points
Abstracts stating that results will be discussed, rather than giving the results themselves, are not accepted.
Review and presentation
Every abstract is scored independently by at least two reviewers from the scientific committee, without seeing the authors or institution. You may state a preference for oral or poster presentation; the final allocation rests with the committee, and the decision is communicated by email to the submitting address by 15 March 2027.
Accepted abstracts are presented in person at the summit in Hyderabad and published in the summit abstract book. Presenting authors should be available on all three days, as the session schedule is confirmed closer to the summit.
Submit your abstract
One submission per abstract. If you need to replace a file after submitting, send the corrected version to academics@aighospitals.com quoting your reference number.
