Version 10 October 2023
If you have specific requirements regarding accessibility, please include this information in the session proposal. We will do everything in our power to meet those requirements.
Although SHOT does not provide Child Care, we normally provide a room for child-feeding/child care. With the move from Long Beach to L.A., to our regret, we will not be able to provide a special room. We are looking into alternatives.

Can I present papers at consecutive SHOT Annual Meetings?
SHOT allows the same speaker to present papers at consecutive meetings, but turns down papers that are substantially the same as previously accepted ones. Any submission on the same topic should explain how the new paper differs from a prior presentation.
Can the program committee propose changes in pre-organized sessions?
Most pre-organized sessions, if accepted, will remain as proposed. In select cases, depending on the quality of individual abstracts and their coherence within the session, one or more of the proposed papers may be rejected or moved to another session. Occasionally, the program committee may ask the session organizer to consider an individual abstract submitted directly to the program committee that speaks directly to the theme of a proposed session. If you believe that your session can only work as a single unit, please specify “all or none,” with or without explanation, and the program committee will evaluate the session proposal as a unit.
Can I submit a paper or session proposal
The deadline for submitting proposals for the 2023 SHOT Annual Meeting is 1 April 2023. Call for Proposals is closed.
Are paper presenters allowed have additional roles at the SHOT Annual Meeting?

Being listed as an organizer is exempted from being counted as a published role.

Covid-19 Policy
The safety of our community and the communities we visit is our top priority; the SHOT staff and leadership continue to monitor the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic. The changeable nature of the virus makes it difficult to predict what to expect in October. Depending on the situation SHOT will take as many precautions as needed to create a safe meeting environment. This could include requiring participants to wear masks. Information on the COVID-19 policy for the SHOT Long Beach meeting will be published on the SHOT website late September and in the October Newsletter.
Following official guidelines
Unless either the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or state and local guidelines dictate otherwise, SHOT 2023 Long Beach will primarily be an in-person gathering. In case new official guidelines or travel restrictions make it impossible to meet in person, SHOT will switch towards a virtual meeting format. All registrations for the in-person meeting will then automatically be transferred to a virtual meeting platform.
Is it possible to apply for travel grants?
To support travel to the annual SHOT meeting, participants can apply for travel grants. Information on available travel grants and links to the application forms will normally be posted on the SHOT website in June. Deadlines for all grant have past. All awardees have been informed.
Are there lap-top computers available in the meeting rooms?
SHOT does not provide computers in the meeting rooms. Presenters need to bring their own computers. It is of course possible to use the computer of one of the organizers or presenters for the entire session. You are requested to bring your own adapters, especially Apple users, as the convention center only has a limited number of spare connectors available.
Are there projectors available in the meeting rooms?
All session-rooms will be fitted with an LCD projector and projection screen.
Will it be possible to attend the meeting via the internet (remote access)?
Unless either the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or state and local guidelines dictate otherwise, SHOT 2023 Long Beach will primarily be an in-person gathering. As part of our commitment as an international academic society, we aim to make online access a regular feature of SHOT’s annual meetings, both for presenters and general conference participants. Concrete plans for remote and hybrid access during SHOT 2023 Long Beach are being developed. We will post further information as soon as possible.
