The MM2026 Scientific Program Committee invites researchers to submit speaker proposals on cutting-edge scientific research to be shared during a 30 minute presentation at MM2026. There will be a maximum of four opportunities available.
Through the MM2026 Speaker proposal: Research, the MM2026 Scientific Program Committee seeks to provide a balanced program that provides opportunities to showcase high level research.
Proposals are welcome from the following research study designs: Prospective, randomised, blinded intervention studies; prospective observational studies; multi-centre observational studies; analysis of national databases; multi-centre qualitative studies.
The submission of a completed proposal does not in any way guarantee the submitter or presenter a speaking slot in the program. Any offer to speak will be subject to terms and conditions.
Speaker proposals will be reviewed by the MM2026 Scientific Program Committee and selected to fit within the theme of the conference and to complement other concurrent streams in the program.
Competing interests must be declared on this proposal application otherwise the proposal will not be considered. If your proposal is selected, competing interests must be declared both verbally and on a slide at the beginning of the presentation.
Please note: this speaker proposal: research is separate to the Call for Abstracts for MM2026.
