Once you've submitted, the abstract portal shows your abstract submission status at each stage of the review. You need an account and must be logged in to see My Submissions.

Each row shows the submission date and its status. Drafts aren't listed here. You'll find them on the Abstracts page under Drafts.
If you've sent more than one submission to the same abstract, the row shows a count such as "2 submissions". Click the row to expand it and see each one with its own status and View button.
The In Review tab holds Under Review and Feedback. The Accepted tab holds Reviewed, Shortlisted and Confirmed.

Submission Information at the bottom lists the submitter, email, submission date, reviewed date and the Average Rating, when reviewers have scored it.
When the status is Under Review or Feedback, the popup has an Edit Submission button. See How Abstract Authors Can Edit or Resubmit After Reviewer Feedback.
You can also check status from Abstracts. When you're logged in, each abstract shows your submission date and status, and tabs for All, Drafts, Under Review, Reviewed and Rejected. Click View on a row for the same status popup.
Can I withdraw my submission?
You can't withdraw a submission yourself. Contact the organiser.
My status hasn't changed for a while.
Review times are set by the organiser and the reviewers. If you're past the date they gave you, contact the organiser.
I submitted without an account. How do I check my status?
My Submissions is only available with an account. If you're shortlisted, you'll be told by email.
What's the difference between Shortlisted and Confirmed?
Shortlisted means your abstract has made the shortlist, but the final decision is still to come. Confirmed means it's accepted for the event.
Can I edit my abstract while it's under review?
Yes. When the status is Under Review or Feedback, the submission popup has an Edit Submission button.
