2026 Call for Abstracts
77th ASEV National Conference and 50th ASEV Eastern Section Annual Meeting
The American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) and the ASEV Eastern Section (ASEV-ES) invites you to submit an abstract for presentation at the joint 77th ASEV National Conference and 50th ASEV Eastern Section Annual Meeting, to be held June 15–18, 2026, in Boise, Idaho, USA.
The ASEV and Eastern Section conferences are the premier scientific meetings in North America dedicated to advancing research and innovation in viticulture and enology, and in 2026 they are combining their efforts to have even greater reach and impact. Each year, scientists, educators, students, and industry professionals are brought together to exchange cutting-edge findings, celebrate achievements, and foster new collaborations that drive the grape and wine industry forward.
We welcome submissions reporting original research or research updates across all areas of viticulture and enology. Projects that extend beyond grape and wine production, but have clear relevance or application to the field are also encouraged.
All abstracts will be reviewed by the ASEV Technical Program Committee. Accepted abstracts will be featured as oral or poster presentations at the conference and posted on the ASEV website.
Refer to the Abstract Instructions below for preparing and submitting your abstract. The submission deadline for abstracts is February 10, 2026. If you have any questions regarding your submission, please contact us.
SUBMISSION FORMAT
To create your abstract, enter all of the information in the online form (using upper and lower case text).
- Title: The title should reflect the important aspects of the article as concisely as possible, in no more than 120 characters and spaces. (Titles that exceed this length will be automatically truncated.)
- Byline: The byline will be automatically created based on the author information that is entered on the online form. The corresponding author will be denoted with an asterisk and the presenting author with boldface type. The full address (including email) of the corresponding author (unabbreviated) will be listed below the authors’ names. You will have the option to list authors in the order you want them to appear on your abstract.
- Abstract: You may type or copy/paste your one-paragraph abstract into the online form (300 words maximum). Please be sure to format your text (italic, bold, special characters, symbols, etc.) Your abstract should state the hypothesis, intent, or purpose of the research, the theoretical or experimental plan used, key findings (without experimental details or data), and major conclusions. Please do not cite references, figures, or tables. Do not state the obvious, such as “results/data will be presented.” Abstracts that exceed the length limit will be automatically truncated.
- Abbreviations and Symbols: Do not use abbreviations in the title or abstract, with the exception of those which are standard for international usage (e.g., HPLC, ATP). The metric system is standard, and SI units should be used (other units may be placed in parenthesis after the SI). Symbols and abbreviations should conform to those used by the AJEV; a list is in the Guide for Authors.
- Additional Information: You may upload additional information, such as a description of your research and pertinent data, including statistics, graphs, and charts to assist the abstract reviewers in evaluating the abstract. In some cases, additional information may be requested.
(Note: The complete abstract will be automatically created based on the information entered in the online abstract submission form.)

For a uniform appearance, it is important that the title be upper and lower case, as illustrated above, and that the name(s) of the author(s) for the byline be listed with first (given) name(s) first. The presenting author’s name will be in bold face and an asterisk will denote the corresponding author. The full address (including email) of the corresponding author (unabbreviated) will follow the authors’ names. The abstract text will be truncated after the 300 word maximum.
Acknowledgment of funding sources (list all by name).
Both oral and poster presentations are regarded as equally valuable aspects of our technical program. Any abstract submitted for an oral or poster presentation must include a clearly stated research hypothesis. An abstract submitted for research already published will not be considered for this conference. Presenter substitutions must be requested in advance for approval by ASEV. Substituted presenters must be listed as an author on the original abstract.
The audience will expect presenters to emphasize the interpretation of their research and address the relevance of the research project. Simply reporting one’s data should be kept to a minimum.
All abstracts and presentations at the conference are under the auspices of ASEV. Any promotional materials used in advance or at the conference must acknowledge ASEV sponsorship of the National Conference and ASEV Eastern Section Annual Meeting.
Presentation Format Preference
Authors may choose to identify their preference for either an oral or a poster presentation. It is the author’s responsibility to indicate their preference on the online submission form at the time the abstract is submitted. The Technical Program Committee will determine the final scheduling decisions with respect to other aspects of the technical program and topic themes. Because oral presentation requests far exceed the number of slots available, all authors should be prepared to present a poster if their abstract is not selected for an oral presentation.
Oral Presentations
Oral presentations will be scheduled in conjunction with topic-based sessions.
Each oral presentation will be scheduled for one presenter for 20 minutes, including allotted time for discussion with the audience. The session moderator will reserve time at the end of each session for a question and answer period with all session presenters available at the podium. A time-keeping system will be used to adhere to the schedule in all oral sessions.
All visual materials must be presented in PowerPoint slides. Wi-Fi will not be available. Oral presenters must use equipment provided by the designated audio visual service provider. Specific guidelines will be provided in the Presentation Guidelines for Oral Technical Sessions, which will be included with letters of acceptance for presentation. Any author who does not provide his or her oral presentation during the designated time and session may not be considered for presentation at future ASEV National Conferences or ASEV Eastern Section Annual Meetings.
The audio portion of all oral presentations will be recorded and offered for sale in an MP3 format.
Poster Presentations
All posters will be displayed Wednesday, June 17 and Thursday, June 18 at the Boise Centre. A reception will be held in the early evening on Wednesday, June 17, as part of the Wednesday/Thursday poster sessions. The author must be present during the wine reception for one hour as assigned to answer questions related to the work.
Industrial posters will include accepted abstracts that reference proprietary information with respect to products or any study that cannot be or has not been confirmed or reproduced by independent entities because it involves proprietary information or materials.
Authors are responsible for setting up and removing their posters during the set-up and dismantle times. Details will be provided in the Guidelines for Poster Presentations.
The poster should contain the following information: title and name(s) of the author(s), introduction, materials and methods, conclusion, and several tables, graphs or diagrams that concisely illustrate the results. Please refer to the sample layout below.
Publication of Technical Abstracts
Each abstract that is to be included on the ASEV website, will be edited for spelling, punctuation, and format. ASEV reserves the right to publish the accepted abstracts on the ASEV website.
American Journal of Enology and Viticulture (AJEV)
Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts based on their presentations for publication in AJEV. For information on submitting a complete manuscript for review, refer to our Submissions Website or email editor@asev.org. AJEV is a peer-reviewed journal.
Presentation Cancellation and Non-Participation
Any author who does not attend his or her poster presentation or present orally as assigned may not be considered for presentation at future ASEV National Conferences or ASEV Eastern Section Annual Meetings. Additionally, presenter’s abstract will not be published on the ASEV website. If you are not able to participate in your technical session, please contact us promptly.
Registration
ASEV does not compensate presenters for their participation. All presenters must register and pay registration fees. ASEV extends the member registration fee to all presenters. However, ASEV membership is encouraged and includes online access to AJEV.
