Case abstracts submission due date is January 1, 2025, 5:00 PM CST. The organizing committee will review each submitted case presentation and submitters will be notified by January 15, 2025, of a decision. Final PowerPoint presentations (5 slides maximum) are due by February 1, 2025. Accepted abstract presenters will receive complimentary registration to the Wound Ambassador Dinner.
