Abstract submissions are open for the 2027 ASPN Annual Meeting, the Society’s first independent Annual Meeting and the largest expected gathering of pediatric nephrology leaders in the United States. Clinicians, researchers, and trainees are invited to submit their work for presentation. Submissions close December 4.
For a specialty whose meetings have long been held alongside larger gatherings, the 2027 meeting marks a shift. The program is built entirely around pediatric kidney disease, and the abstracts accepted this cycle will shape the scientific content of a meeting the Society will return to every year.
What you can submit
Abstracts are accepted in three formats. The Program Committee reviews all submissions and assigns the presentation format.
- Oral presentations
- Posters
- Clinical case reports
Work that has been presented at another meeting remains eligible. Work already published in a journal is not.
Before you begin
Review the submission guidelines before you start. They cover eligibility, character limits, figure and table requirements, the blinded review process, and the submission fee. Reading them first will save you a round of revisions later.
