Registration
Faculty and Presenting Authors: Please refer to your invitation.
Faculty and presenting authors are required to register for the meeting and pay the required registration fees. If the original presenting author is unable to present their abstract live in Barcelona, another co-author on the paper may present in their place. Please contact education@srs.org by June 27, 2024 with any author changes.
For more information on registration, please visit: Registration.
Podium Presentation Cancellation & No-Show Policy
Authors unable to present their paper in-person should inform SRS as soon as possible with a co-author that can attend to present the paper. If no one can attend in-person, please inform SRS by June 27, 2024, so an alternate paper can be substituted.
Please note: In the case of a "no-show" podium presentation, the presenting author associated with the "no-show" paper will be prohibited from presenting any papers at the next two Annual Meetings.
E-Point Presentation Cancellation Policy
At least one author or co-author on all E-Point presentations is expected to register to attend the meeting by June 27, 2024.
If this author cancels their registration prior to the meeting, the E-Point presentation may be withdrawn from the program.
Manuscripts
Manuscripts are required for abstracts selected for Podium presentations. Manuscripts must be uploaded in the Speaker Management System by presenting authors no later than August 14, 2024. Please do not upload your manuscript in the Speaker Ready Room.
For more information, please visit: Manuscript Guidelines
CME
The 59th Annual Meeting is CME accredited, and it is therefore essential that the presentations are free from commercial influence. References to commercial products must use their generic name or be balanced by referring to other similar products. Please see the guidelines below for CME information.
Non-Exclusive License and Attestation
All faculty, podium, and E-Point presenting authors must complete a Non-Exclusive License and Attestation Form in the Speaker Management System. All presenters will be prompted to complete this form upon logging in to accept their presentation(s) by June 4, 2024.
Disclosures
All faculty, podium, and E-Point presentations must disclose the author’s financial relationships with ineligible companies, from the past 24 months, on the second slide of the presentation.
Please note: An ineligible company is one whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.

Product Name Use Policy
SRS strongly prefers that pharmaceuticals and proprietary software/databases as well as surgical approaches or specific instrumentation such as “Surgimap, MIMICS, EOS Imaging, ROTEM, XLIF, DLIF, AxiaLIF, Solera, Vertex, Expedium, Mountaineer, VEPTR, Shilla, etc.,” are not used in presentations. These terms should be replaced by a generic term or description of the drug, software/database and/or instrumentation or technique unless the use of the term directly impacts learners’ understanding of the presentation or data. Instrumentation may also be referred to when the device name is a landmark system that is no longer sold (i.e. Harrington, Cotrel-Dubousset, Luque). It is recognized that studies evaluating a device or devices or comparing different devices or techniques may require the use of product or technique names. If a device trade name or industry developed technique using a trademarked name are used in an abstract or presentation, it will be specifically reviewed by the CME Committee for evaluation of any relevant financial relationships. When there is a known relevant financial relationship, expanded verbal disclosure will be necessary at the time of presentation. Furthermore, if a product name is mentioned, the audience should be informed of why it is necessary to give the name.
