Your presentation must be no longer than 15 minutes. This applies to all presentation formats.

A golden tip is to prepare one slide for each minute of your talk!

For all those who wish to use slides in symposia, events, reports, and product presentations: it is advisable to bring a laptop and a copy of your presentation saved on a USB drive to ensure that your presentation can proceed in case of network or equipment issues. Please note that, due to technical constraints, it was not possible to provide a computer in every room.

To avoid the need for a USB drive, we will provide a presentation submission form, which will be made available to all activity coordinators.

You can access the full event program under the “Program” tab.

Under “General Program,” you will find the room map, the event schedule grid, and the program booklet:

Under “Activities,” you will find the program organized by day:

Payment can be made via PIX, credit card, or debit card.

Yes, you can access the templates for slide or poster presentations on the “Presentation Template” page.

In both cases, please contact us by email (interab@abralin.org) and provide the title of the paper, your registration number, and a description of the issue.

If you only notice the problem during the week of the event, you should go to the registration desk to resolve it.

Recommendations: Search for your paper by title and then by the author’s name to ensure you find it in the program. Another helpful strategy is to search by keyword, as the system may sometimes fail to recognize special characters.

There are six registration categories:

• University Lecturer/Researcher
• Basic Education Teacher
• Postgraduate Student (Master’s and PhD)
• Undergraduate Student
• High School Student
• Participant without presentation

If you selected the wrong category, please contact InterAb at interab@abralin.org. In your message, include your full name and the correct category in which you wish to register. We will update your registration.

Please note that if you select “Participant without presentation”, you will not be able to submit a work in the system. If you change your mind and wish to submit a work, just contact us with your full name and your academic level.

If your work is not accepted, or if you decide not to submit your work but would still like to attend InterAb, contact us with your full name and we will update your participation category to “without presentation.”

To request a refund, you must provide:

• Full name used for the registration
• Proof of payment of the registration fee

All this information must be sent to interab@abralin.org with the subject line “Registration Fee Refund.”

Your request will be processed within up to 10 business days, depending on the payment method.

Please note that refund requests can only be submitted until January 15.

At first, only one member of the group needs to pay the annual fee.

This person will register on the InterAb system and submit the group’s proposal. They will also be the initial contact to receive the letter of acceptance and all event communications.

After receiving the letter of acceptance, all authors who will present at the congress must pay the annual fee and complete their individual registration in the system.

Undergraduate students do not need to pay the annual membership fee to register with a submission.

Participants who will not present (attendees only) do not pay the annual membership fee.

About the annual membership fee

If you are not yet a member, you can register via the link “Become a member.”

If you are already a member but your annual fee is pending, go to the Members’ Area to regularise your status.

When you register for InterAb, the system will notify you if there is any pending issue with your membership.

If you have questions or specific difficulties with the membership process, please contact ABRALIN’s Secretariat at abralin@abralin.org.

With the exception of undergraduate students, all other participant categories must pay the annual membership fee, as the InterAb registration system will only allow you to finalize your registration after it verifies — via your CPF (ID number) — that the annual fee has been paid.

Please note that payment reconciliation in ABRALIN’s and InterAb’s systems may take 5 to 7 working days, depending on the bank and the payment method used.

For this reason, we recommend paying ABRALIN’s annual membership fee as early as possible, so you can complete your registration without time pressure.

If you notice any issue with your annual membership payment, please contact ABRALIN’s Secretariat at abralin@abralin.org.

Regarding payment of the InterAb registration fee:

We also recommend completing this payment at least ten days before the end of your chosen payment window. This way, if any error occurs, we can check it in good time and assist you.

Please remember that high school students do not pay the registration fee!

If you encounter any problem with the registration fee payment, please contact interab@abralin.org.

The submission of full papers will take place through the journal Cadernos de Linguística (CadLin), after the conference, and must follow the journal’s guidelines.

Once the call for papers is open, we will notify all registered participants through the system and share the announcement on our communication channels.

All registered participants who present their work will receive a certificate of presentation.

If you have submitted two works, you will receive one certificate of presentation for each.

If only the author or one of the co-authors is able to present on the day, the team member who does not present must pay ABRALIN’s 2025 annual membership fee in order to receive the certificate of presentation.

Please note that it is not mandatory for all members of the work to present. If the team prefers, only one representative may present on the day. For the other team members who do not present to receive the certificate, it is enough to pay ABRALIN’s 2025 annual membership fee.

The submission will only appear in the participant area of the person responsible for the submission. This is standard system behavior.

If you are a co-author, please note the following to confirm whether you are registered as a co-author of the submission:

• Receipt of the acceptance letter: If you have received the acceptance letter, this means you are registered as a co-author, and no further action is required other than paying the registration fee.

• Not receiving the acceptance letter despite being a co-author: Your email address may have been entered incorrectly during submission. In this case, please send an email to interab@abralin.org with the submission title and your correct email address so that we can resolve the issue.

If you are unsure whether you are registered as a co-author, please send an email to interab@abralin.org including your full name and the submission title. We will check the information and contact you if additional author details are required.
