Author Notification Date: June 23, 2026
Papers are solicited for this conference describing original work in the field of ultrasonics. A 1-page abstract should be submitted according to the specifications below.
Each abstract will receive careful review and evaluation by the Symposium Technical Program Committee. Evaluation criteria will include originality of the work, contribution to the state of the art, and overall interest to the ultrasonics community.
If your abstract is accepted, authors will be required to upload a pre-recorded video. These will be uploaded to the virtual platform. We highly encourage authors to have a presenter who is onsite at the conference to present live.
By submitting an abstract, authors acknowledge and agree to comply with these requirements and understand that failure to do so may result in restrictions on current or future participation in this conference.
Abstract Specifications
Preparation Instructions
Abstract without an image: Text should be no more than 2500 characters, excluding spaces, title, and section headers. It must be contained within one page.
Abstract with an image: Text with an image should be no more than 2000 characters, excluding spaces, title, and section headers. The image must be scaled such that the entire abstract only spans one page.

The image, if included, may contain subfigures and labels.
References, if included, are considered as part of the abstract’s character count.
You must upload your abstract as a .pdf file to the Epapers platform.
Overlength abstracts and those containing figure captions will be returned without peer review.

All abstracts will be subjected to a double-blind review. Abstracts that contain author information will by default be rejected.
Please avoid using terminology that might reveal the authors’ identities. For example, avoid self-citation phrases such as “we have previously shown (reference)…”.
Any cited reference within the abstract must be anonymized.
Please do not include sponsored research funding information in the abstract.
If your submission includes an ethical statement, please do not include specific review board names. Instead, use more generic phrases such as ‘The protocol was approved by an institutional review board’.

Full Paper Submission for Publication
Submission of a conference paper, up to four pages, will be highly encouraged at a later date for authors whose abstracts are accepted at the conference.
IEEE reserves the right to exclude a submission from distribution after the conference, including exclusion from IEEE Xplore, if the submission does not meet IEEE standards for scope and/or quality.
Proceedings papers are reviewed to ensure that the subject and contents of each article are within the stated subject matter or the scope of the conference, and are within the IEEE fields of interest:
The author(s) has/have not obviously violated IEEE Policies.
Each article is clearly written.
Each article meets the minimum criterion for technical substance established for the conference
Presentation Format and Material Requirements
UFFC-sponsored conferences do not offer live streaming or live hybrid session formats. All technical sessions are conducted in person or by showing videos for those who cannot participate in person.
To support all registered participants and access to parallel sessions, all accepted presenters are expected to submit a pre-recorded video of their presentation by the stated deadline (typically 7–10 days before the conference).
Providing presentation materials in advance helps ensure a smoother, more reliable conference experience for everyone involved.
For presenters, it reduces last-minute stress and eliminates the risk of technical issues affecting your talk. For attendees, it provides access to parallel sessions and supports colleagues who are unable to travel. For conference organizers, it minimizes technical risk, avoids live-session failures, and ensures the program delivers what is promised.
This approach allows the conference to focus on high-quality in-person discussion while still extending the scientific value of the meeting beyond a single room, time slot, and time zone for those who attend remotely.
By submitting an abstract, authors acknowledge and agree to comply with these requirements and understand that failure to do so may result in restrictions on current or future participation in this conference.
