We invite your proposals for organizing sessions and presentations for the 2025 Fire Congress. Proposals will be accepted for special sessions, workshops and trainings, fire circle discussion groups, oral presentations, poster presentations, and attached meetings/activities.
Abstract Submission Fee for Oral Presentations and Poster Presentations
AFE requires a processing fee for each abstract submitted. This fee is separate from registration and required for all oral and poster presentation abstracts. The abstract fee is non-refundable and covers administrative and online costs associated with abstract submission and review, finalizing the program, and sharing your abstract/presentation on our conference app. We also hope this will increase presenter committment and reduce the logistical challenges of late cancellations.
To ensure this fee is not a barrier to participation, presenters can self-select the appropriate fee on their submission form:
- Regular submission fee: $50
- Discounted submission fee: $25 (available for students and anyone who needs financial assistance)
- Fee waiver: $0 (for people who cannot afford the fee)
After submitting your abstract, you will receive a link to pay the fee using our online payment system. If you need to pay this fee with your registration, please email [email protected] so we can invoice you.
