Guidelines for contributors

The Organising Committee invites you to submit an abstract for either an oral or poster presentation on a topic aligned with the Symposium themes.

Abstract submission

Abstract acceptance

Authors will be informed of their acceptance and method of presentation in writing. The organising committee will try to accommodate your preferred method of presentation; however, as each format will form an integral part of the conference, the science committee reserves the right to assign papers to either oral or poster presentation as necessary.

Oral presentations

Oral presentations will be limited to 15 minutes per presentation (talk 10–12 minutes and Q&A 3–5 minutes). We strongly encourage presenters to use electronic methods of presentation such as PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat. The display will be optimised for widescreen (16:9) format.

Posters

Posters will be displayed at the conference venue for the duration of the meeting. Please bring your posters to the venue at the time of registration. The poster should be A0 in size and portrait shape. Velcro (hooks) dots to attach them to the poster boards will be provided. Check in with the registration desk to find out where your poster board will be.
