Registration for the online conference has now opened. Abstract submission for the 2020 CSSC has ended.

Online CSSC Registration 

The abstract submission deadline is Monday, March 9th, 2020 at 11:59PM Eastern Time. If you plan on submitting an abstract at both the annual SSC conference and the CSSC, note that you are NOT allowed to give the same presentation at both conferences. However, we do welcome submissions presented in a different format from the SSC presentation (e.g. oral presentation at CSSC and poster presentation at SSC), or submissions with considerably different content.

We encourage French-speaking attendees to give their presentations in French with slides in English. Participants who submit their abstracts in both English and French are automatically entered in a random draw for our Translation Award! Submissions using an online translator will not be considered for this draw.

CMS-STUDC Undergraduate Poster Competition details: 

The student conference is a good opportunity for undergraduate students to present their work and improve their presentation skills in a friendly environment.
