If you participated in the 2018 meeting (even as a co-author), your contact information should still be in the online abstract XCDSYSTEM.com database. Please do not try to renew dues or register through the XCDSYSTEM, that is just for ABSTRACT SUBMISSION. 

If you have already created a profile in the XCDSystem, please login in below as a RETURNING USER. If you are completely new to the XCDSystem, please CREATE A PROFILE and then you will be able to submit abstracts. TULISOC members and the meeting registration have been moved to a new online system. To register, as well as join the society or renew your dues (to save $75 on academic/government registration), please click here. If you are a current or past member going back to 2018, you will be able to login using your member email address which was sent to all members and past members in January, 2023.

Submission Steps:

1. The first step is to input the Title of the abstract in sentence case, (example: Towards a global phylogeography of Francisella tularensis subspecies holarctica). Use TEXT ONLY, no special formatting except for italics where needed. Do not to include the authors or any additional information. Do not to include the authors or any additional information. Then type (or paste from Word), the Body of the Abstract (350 word limit), in sentence case, NOT to include the abstract title, authors, affiliations or contact information. 
2. The next step is to add your Co-Authors (which should NOT be included in Step 1). Each Co-Author will also receive a confirmation email with your contact information, the title of the abstract and ID number and their login information. All Co-Authors have Read only access. Presenters have Read/Write access. To prevent duplicate contacts, please confirm the person you are trying to add is not already in the system. To use a new contact (or if the information found in the TULISOC database is incorrect), click “My Co-Author Isn’t Listed – Add A New Contact“. This system will ensure accurate indexing of all authors in the abstracts/proceedings book. You can go back to the Authors field at any time to change the order of the co-authors. If one of your co-authors is already in the database, but has changed their affiliation or email address, you will not be able to change their information. Please contact Joan Oefner to edit their information for you. Alternatively, if they have a new email address, you can Add A New Contact. 
3. The third and final step is to review your submission and submit. All presenting authors must be registered for the meeting by 2 September. The online registration system is separate from this online abstract form: 
   https://member.tularemia.org/registration 

If you have any questions about abstract submissions, please contact the Conference Manager, Joan Oefner.

If you do not receive this confirmation email, please contact Joan Oefner.
