2026 Webinar Series: From Idea to Abstract to Publication (Group)

Includes a Live Web Event on 04/29/2026 at 2:00 PM (EDT)

Description: Participants will gain a practical, step-by-step framework for transforming everyday quality improvement, operational, and training initiatives into conference abstracts and peer-reviewed publications. The webinar simplifies the publishing process by focusing on a clear question, disciplined data collection, and transparent interpretation of results. Rather than presenting publication as overly academic or complex, it demonstrates how real-world work can become meaningful contributions to the field. Participants will leave with a clear path to structure, communicate, and share their efforts in ways that advance practice, support their teams, and strengthen professional credibility.

Target Audience: This webinar is intended for tissue banking professionals engaged in quality improvement, operations, education, and research, including medical directors, associate medical directors, quality and regulatory leaders, processing and recovery managers, educators, and emerging professionals interested in presenting and publishing their work.
