We urge interested participants to

PRE-REGISTER

as early as possible, for planning the event more efficiently.

Pre-registration is important as it will add your record to our database (for Book of Abstracts, Name Tags, etc.)

Pre-registration does not require an immediate payment; however, to take advantage of the Early Registration Fee you must pay before the deadline (see the table below). Registration is not considered complete until the registration fee is received.

The Registration Fee applies to the Symposium sessions and workshops. Registration is not considered complete until the Registration Fee is received. In order to take advantage of the early registration fee rate, payment must be made before the end of the Early Registration period.

Please note that your registration fee (except for Guests and 1-day registration) COVERS coffee breaks, attendance at all sessions and pre-Symposium workshops, poster reception and the Symposium Dinner.

1-day registrants do not need to select their day until the schedule is finalised.
