MSSA 2026 Technical forum abstract submission

The MSSA 2026 Technical Forum (TF) will introduce a new format following suggestions from trade representatives. To foster greater interaction between the trade and academic attendees, the MSSA TF will now be fully integrated into the daily scientific proceedings from Monday 30 November until Thursday 3 December 2026.  These talks may include subject matter on the release of new equipment (e.g. trade presentations) or technical presentations on the development of novel techniques or equipment in the field of microscopy by speakers from academic or research institutions.

 

All TF presentations will be scheduled at the end of sessions immediately before the Coffee Breaks and Lunch sessions. Trade presentations (15 minutes) will not allow for questions during the session as the session chair will encourage delegates to meet with the speaker at the trade exhibition for relevant questions. All other technique TF presentations will be allowed 20 minutes which includes 5 minutes for questions after the talk.

 

Delegates interested in presenting talks are requested to submit abstracts by 31 August 2026.
Submission of technical forum abstracts will be done through an online form. The abstract should be a maximum of 250 words (excluding title and author details). An example abstract is provided in the link below. To submit an abstract, follow the abstract submission link. Submitted abstracts will be reviewed for possible presentation at the TF.

Each sponsor or exhibitor will be guaranteed one presentation slot in the TF.
