Q: If I submit an abstract do I have to attend the Conference?
A: It is expected that at least one author of the accepted abstract attends the meeting to present the work and answer questions. Only abstracts of registered participants will be scheduled in the Scientific Program.

Q: I have submitted an abstract, when will I know if it has been accepted?
A: Only after all abstracts have been reviewed by the Scientific Committee notifications will be sent to the abstract submitters. Every effort is made to conclude this process within one month after the abstract submission deadline or extended abstract submission deadline in case there is extension.

Q: How can I make changes to an abstract I have already submitted?
A: You may enter the Abstract Submission system with your username and password and make changes to your abstract until the submission deadline date. No abstract changes will be accepted after this date, however, you are welcome to bring a more up-to-date abstract to the Conference.

Q: If my abstract is accepted, where will it be published?
A: Information will be available later.

Q: I am having trouble logging into the abstract submission system – my username/password is not working.
A: Please try one of the following options via the abstract submission page:

• In case you are using “Internet Explorer”, please try another internet browser, e.g. “Google Chrome” or “Mozilla”.
• When you copy and paste your username and password please make sure there is no extra space at the beginning or the end of them.
• In case your password contains the letter “O” please make sure you do not type “0” (Zero) instead the letter “O”.
• Please note that the username or ID received when registering for the Conference is different to the abstract submission. Please use the abstract submission username or “create new account” option.

Q: I created a new account but did not receive my username?
A: Please note that the username is shown in the “Subject line” in the confirmation email received when setting up a new account.
