WTC 2025 Abstract Submission Now Closed!
**Update on Payment Processing Issue**
Feb. 20th – 9:43am PST
On Feb. 19th between approximately 6:00pm and 11:00pm MST, there was a technical issue preventing payment transactions to be processed. The issue has since been resolved. We now ask anyone who experienced issues submitting their abstract due to this technical issue to return to your submission and try your payment again. The submission deadline will be extended to ensure all those affected will have the proper time and opportunity to complete their submission.
- New Abstract Submission Deadline: Extended to February 24 at 9:00 AM MST
Please note that although transactions are now going through, those who had attempted payment multiple times may see multiple pending transactions on their credit card. We assure you that any duplicate charges that are processed will be reversed.
If you experience any more issues with your submission, please contact wtc2025-abstracts@icsevents.com.
We thank you for your patience and understanding.
