TMS No-show Penalty Policy |Back to Help|

For the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition and other TMS-sponsored specialty conferences, individuals who are designated as a presenter of an accepted oral presentation must do one of the following:

  1. attend the meeting and deliver the presentation
  2. notify staff of the intent to cancel 60 days prior to the start of the meeting
  3. arrange for a presentation to be delivered by a substitute presenter

If none of these actions are taken, the presenter will be designated as a no-show.

In all cases, presenters should notify TMS and their symposium organizers immediately upon determination that they cannot attend and present their talk.

PENALTY: A presenter who is a no-show for one or more oral presentations at a single meeting will receive a warning. If the speaker no-shows again within three years, he or she will be suspended from giving an oral presentation for the next two years.

In addition, if an organizer is able to fill the slot without assistance from the no-show presenter, the organizer can notify TMS staff that a no-show penalty should still be assessed to the original presenter.

APPEAL: Extenuating circumstances can be evaluated via appeal to the sponsoring division’s Program Representatives, provided that some advance notice of the cancellation was given by the presenter to TMS.
