Please read the following guidelines carefully before submitting an
abstract, as failure to comply with the submission guidelines may result in the abstract being rejected.
Presenters will be accountable for delivering the presentation/workshop within the timeframe advised and
along lines agreed with the session chair.
Please include a fully completed coversheet when submitting an abstract. Incomplete coversheets will be
returned, which will delay the processing of your abstract. Please use Microsoft Word for both the coversheet
and abstract. Please include your name in the filename when submitting your abstract.
Please note - No discount is available to presenters for day or residential tickets for attendance at the
Conference and presenters must ensure they have booked attendance no less than one week prior to the
conference. Where an abstract is accepted, presenters must confirm by email acceptance within one week of
receiving this invitation email. In the absence of confirmation, the place will be offered to another presenter(s).
Accepted presenters will be allocated a date and time slot within the conference timetable. Please note the
logistics of conference organisation mean that it is rarely possible to accommodate preferences or changes and
it is certainly not possible to accommodate requests in the weeks running up to the conference.
Accepted presenters must contact the organising committee if at any point they will not be able to attend the
Conference. This is a highly undesirable situation and should only arise in exceptional circumstances.
Presenters must email a copy of their presentation to socialcareirelandcon@gmail.com one week prior to the
conference. This is to ensure that presentations are uploaded onto the relevant laptops and/or that they can be
tested in advance to minimise the possibility of technical issues arising on the day. Presenters should also have a
copy of the presentation available to them should the need arise. Please note audio-visual and other details
should be clearly noted on the cover page (see below) that must accompany the abstract submission.
If presenters accept an invitation to present at the Conference they also agree to their presentation being made
available through www.socialcareireland.ie after the Conference.Presenters may be invited to submit a paper on
their workshop or presentation to be published in Conference proceedings after the Conference.
The Social Care Ireland Conference Committee reserve the right, without explanation, to reject or accept an
abstract and/or suggest changes and/or placement in a different category type.
