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.
