  • Presenters will be notified by February 21st, 2027, regarding the acceptance of their presentation, poster or symposium for the Annual Forum.

    Inclusion in the program depends on confirmation from the presenter within two weeks of acceptance notification.  Presenters are required to register for the Forum. Consistent with SWHPN's commitment to accessibility and inclusion, approved presenters will receive discounted registration for the Annual Forum. 

    Please note: Scheduling decisions and presentation types are at the discretion of the SWHPN 2026-27 Conference Committee and are final. The Committee and SWHPN Board reserve the right to request modifications to presentation format or length to create the best possible forum schedule. 

    While we value and welcome the richness of diverse languages and cultural perspectives, submissions must be prepared in English to ensure accessibility for all reviewers and attendees. 

    All authors must identify and resolve any conflicts of interest before presenting papers or posters. Any speaker with a commercial interest related to their presentation is considered to have a conflict of interest.
