Registration & Award

Important Notes to Authors/Presenters

Authors must complete their meeting registration and pay fees by 30 September 2024. Late payment may result in their Abstracts not being included in the Conference Program and other publications produced for distribution at the conference.

If circumstances prevent you from completing your registration and payment by 30 September 2024, you may request written permission from the Symposium Chair concerned to extend the payment deadline or be allowed to make payment onsite. Do note, however, that different registration rates will apply when you make the request and not every request can be acceded.

Participation will only be confirmed upon receipt of the online registration form and fee payment. If selecting “Student Registration”, you need to upload your student status proof (see item 5.0 below)
