How will my registration fee be refunded?

Refunds will be automatically repaid through the same means as you used to pay.  If you paid by credit card it will be a credit on your card.  If you paid by bank transfer the money will be returned to the same account.  If you requested an invoice but have not yet paid it, the invoice will be cancelled and you will owe nothing.

Presenting

My co-author and I would like to make a joint presentation at the congress. Is this possible?

As long as you keep within your allotted time slot you can make a joint presentation, but
remember the presentations slots are not long. You will both need to purchase a 3-day ticket.

My co-author will present our paper. Do I need to change the order of authors in the congress
programme?

If the first author cannot present it is fine for another author to present the paper, however we
cannot change the programme listing.

What are the requirements for preparing presentation slides?

Slides should be prepared using Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) and in 16 x 9 format. There is no standard slide template.  Chairs for Symposia will be asked to collate all their presentations into a single file.   Slides will need to be uploaded to the congress Slide Centre at least 48 hours before the session is scheduled.  Details of how to do this will be provided nearer to congress.

What are the requirements for preparing a poster?

Posters should be printed on a single sheet in Portrait format, size A0 (84.1 cm width x 118.9 cm height).  Each poster must have a note indicating a one-hour period when the author will be on the stand to answer questions and include an email address or QR code where further information can be obtained.

 

Covid-19

What precautions are you taking against Covid-19 at the Venue?

The venue is taking a number of steps to prevent infection. These include enhanced cleaning procedures, hand sanitizing stations and increased air circulation through their advanced ventilation systems. The venue is large and will allow delegates to maintain an appropriate distance.

Do I need to be vaccinated to attend?

We will be asking all delegates to provide proof of vaccination or immunity, or to show a recent negative test result before entry into the congress site. If you have not been vaccinated you will need to take a test to enter.

Will delegates need to wear masks?

It is our policy for all delegates to wear masks inside the congress centre. Speakers can remove their masks during presentations and for eating and drinking.
