Is your work a fit? Check before you submit

  1. The work addresses a question in hepatology or liver disease relevant to clinical or translational practice.
  2. Methods, population and setting are stated clearly within the abstract word and format limits.
  3. Results are reported with data, not described as anticipated or pending.
  4. Ethics approval, consent and conflict-of-interest declarations are in place where required.
  5. A complete, co-author-approved abstract is submitted before the 16 November 2026 deadline (12:00 midday AEDT).

Why This Conference Matters

Liver disease remains a major clinical concern across the Asia-Pacific region, where viral hepatitis, metabolic liver disease and liver cancer place sustained demands on health systems. APASL’s annual meeting brings together hepatologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons, pathologists and scientists from across the region, and the 2027 theme on innovation in practice gives particular room for work that changes how patients are diagnosed, treated and followed up. Presenting here allows researchers to share findings with peers working in comparable settings and to build regional collaborations.

Who Should Submit

Academic backgrounds

  • Hepatology and gastroenterology
  • Hepatobiliary and transplant surgery
  • Liver pathology and molecular biology
  • Infectious diseases and viral hepatitis research
  • Clinical epidemiology and public health

Institutions and sectors

  • University hospitals and liver centres
  • Medical schools and research institutes
  • Pharmaceutical and diagnostics companies
  • Public health agencies and hepatitis programmes

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. Clinical data that inform diagnosis or treatment decisions in routine hepatology practice.
  2. Studies from Asia-Pacific populations and settings that are under-represented in the evidence base.
  3. Translational work linking mechanisms of liver injury to potential therapeutic targets.
  4. Evaluations of new care pathways, diagnostics or service models with measurable outcomes.

Ideas You Could Develop

Non-invasive fibrosis assessmentA cohort study comparing elastography and serum-based scores against biopsy or outcomes in patients with metabolic liver disease.
HCC surveillance uptakeAn audit of hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance adherence in patients with cirrhosis, identifying service factors linked to earlier detection.
Hepatitis B care cascadeA regional analysis of diagnosis, linkage and treatment rates for chronic hepatitis B, with lessons for service design.

Your Plan to the Deadline

A suggested schedule working back from 16 November 2026. Adjust it to the stage your work has reached.

  1. By 5 Oct 2026

    Open the official call for abstracts; confirm the tracks, word limit, format and author rules.

  2. By 19 Oct 2026

    Agree the key result, the authors and the presenting author.

  3. By 2 Nov 2026

    Draft the structured abstract to the word limit, with results stated as numbers.

  4. By 9 Nov 2026

    Circulate to co-authors and an independent reader; revise.

  5. By 14 Nov 2026

    Final checks: title, author affiliations, conflicts of interest and track selection.

  6. By 16 Nov 2026

    Submit through the official abstract system before the deadline.

What you gain

  • Feedback from peers working on the same questions.
  • A citable abstract or proceedings paper.
  • Contacts for collaboration, employment and future funding.
  • A step towards a full journal article.

What happens after you submit

  1. Acknowledgement: the abstract system confirms receipt; keep the submission number.
  2. Review: the scientific committee scores abstracts against the track criteria.
  3. Decision: accepted abstracts are assigned to an oral, poster or e-poster session.
  4. Registration: presenting authors usually must register by a stated date.
  5. Publication: accepted abstracts or papers may appear in the conference proceedings or journal supplement.

What the Organisers Are Looking For

The meeting seeks abstracts across hepatology that align with the 2027 theme of transforming liver medicine through innovation in practice. Clinical studies, translational and basic science, and work on care delivery are all likely to be of interest, particularly where findings are relevant to patients and services in the Asia-Pacific region. Abstracts should report clear methods and results, and authors should confirm categories and formatting requirements on the official abstract submission page.
