More information for symposia organisers
All symposia submitters are encouraged to take an active leadership role in coordinating any accepted session, seeking out and encouraging speaker participation in your session. You will be supported by the scientific committee in confirming the final session line up for the conference programme. Co-organisers are welcome. Once accepted, all symposia will be listed on the conference website along with the call for abstracts which opens in February 2025. All participating speakers will need to submit an abstract for their presentation. The call for abstracts will allow all submitters an option to identify their submission as a candidate for a specific symposium. In partnership with the scientific committee, you will confirm the final speaker line up and the local organising committee will send speaker confirmations as well as announce the programme. Prior to the event, you may also be asked to secure a session chair.
Language of Submission
All submissions must be submitted in English.
Word Count
