Technical Themes include:
The committee continues to consider a number of virtual and hybrid (combination in-person and virtual) delivery options. Please declare on your submission your preference.
How to submit
Abstracts should be 300 to 500 words and may be submitted in either English or French.
Abstracts can be submitted online at https://www.conference-service.com/CDA2021/welcome.html. Please note: You will either need to create a new account within the abstract management system or reactivate an existing account from CDA 2018 or CDA 2020 (assuming you have the same email address).
All authors that submitted an abstract for CDA 2020 are encouraged to resubmit their abstract for CDA 2021.
Timely submission of abstracts and papers will help improve the quality of the technical program for all conference attendees.
