Accessing the Abstract Submission Site

ASM is hosting the IMARI abstract submissions site. To submit an abstract, users must log in through the ASM Single Sign-On (SSO) system. This login system enhances security and ensures that your information and submissions are protected.

Important details: 

  • A user account is required to log in and access the abstract submission platform. 
  • Creating an account is complimentary and there is no fee to create an account. 
  • Individuals are not required to be an ASM or Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) member to submit an abstract or create a user account.  
  • Individuals only need one password for a user account which will be utilized across all IMARI services, including registration.  

This secure system assists ASM and IDSA to verify users’ identities and ensures reliable communication throughout the abstract submission and review process. If you do not have an ASM user account, you will be prompted to create one prior to logging into the abstract submission site.
