Presenter Instructions
To provide the most optimal experience for all attendees and successful participation, please make yourself aware of the following presentation instructions.

Upload Your Presentations And Files
PRESENTERS AND LECTURERS
Early upload (72 hours prior) for many presentations is necessary to screen for technical issues that may create problems during presentations and to allow for CME Review. Failure to comply with the 72-hour deadline will jeopardize the session’s CME accreditation.
ON-DEMAND MODERATED POSTERS AND CHALLENGING CASES
Early upload by February 17, 2023 (11:59 PM EST), is necessary to screen for technical issues and to ensure it is posted to the platform. Failure to comply with this deadline and required file submissions will jeopardize your file making it to the on-demand platform.
CME Review
CRF’s CME committee will review your presentation for ACCME compliance.
CRF is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. As a result, CRF must ensure that CME activities are developed free from the control of ineligible companies and are balanced, objective, and scientifically rigorous. As such, disclosure forms, learning objectives, audience response questions, presentation reviews, or other measures are requested in advance of the meeting to satisfy our accreditation requirements.
