Press Info — ACG Annual Scientific Meeting

All research presented at ACG 2023 is strictly embargoed until 12:00 pm PDT/3:00 pm EDT on Sunday, October 22, 2023.

The embargo policy means that no news, information, results of any abstract, or research finding can be released to the media or published before 12:00 pm PDT/3:00 pm EDT on Sunday, October 22, 2023.

This embargo includes revealing anything about the results (including the title of the abstract—since often times the title indicates the finding) in a press release or “curtain raiser.”

If you have a question, please email ACG Media Staff.

Newsworthy Abstracts for 2023 can be viewed beginning this fall on ACG’s Featured Science page.

Exhibitors releasing information to the media based on research presented at ACG 2022 or events at ACG 2023 should honor the ACG 2023 embargo.

Exhibitors, Attendees, Guests, and Media are strictly prohibited from taking video or audio recording of the Exhibit Hall or any educational session or event of the meeting for publication, rebroadcast, or placement on a non-ACG website or print publication without prior written permission from the ACG. Still photography is permitted only for personal, non-commercial purposes, including social media. Attendees can direct questions about the policy to ACG VP of Meetings and Exhibitions, Elaine McCubbin. Members of the media should send general questions to ACG Media Staff.

Press conferences at ACG 2023 sponsored by exhibitors or groups other than ACG are outside press conferences. The College requests that no group schedule a press conference at the same time as any ACG-sponsored Media Briefings. Groups holding outside press conferences are responsible for securing their own space, but are welcome to coordinate with ACG VP of Meetings and Exhibitions, Elaine McCubbin, to try to identify an appropriate venue. As a courtesy, please notify ACG of plans to hold a press conference at ACG 2023 by emailing ACG Media Staff.
