Q: I submitted to a special organized session for this conference, but I have not heard whether my paper will be scheduled within that session. If you would like to compare time zones, please visit this website. Listed below are the time blocks we will be using throughout the six-day main conference.įirst block: 08:00-11:00 New York/14:00-17:00 Rome/20:00-23:00 Shanghai The running hours for the main conference will be between 08:00 EDT and 22:00 (New York). Please let us know by April 26 about the dates and times you will be unavailable on this form. As you may imagine this will be a challenge.


However, we have committed to working with authors in all time zones to find a speaking slot that is within waking hours for their time zone AND to keep as many organized sessions intact as possible. Q: How will you schedule talks, given the diversity of time zones represented by speakers?Ī: Good question! Our best guess is that there are at least 18 time zone represented in our presenters, and there are no times that will work for everyone. You will have an opportunity later to upload an additional file in the Whova platform. We recommend you do not include complex formulas and images are not allowed. Q: What if I have a formula or an image I would like people to see in my abstract?Ī: The abstract field for the Whova platform is text-only. If you have a presenter who is accepted for two or more oral contributions, please designate another speaker to the conference or withdraw the additional submissions. Please recall that a presenter is limited to two talks in the main conference: one oral contribution OR lightning talk and one poster presentation. Please take a moment to review your author order, presenter designation, and your title for accuracy. You will have an opportunity to upload a file to the Whova platform at a later date (slides, a pdf, or an image). Your abstract may be as much as 500 words long, but we encourage you to be more succinct (200-300) and write in the form you might use in a journal article in your field. In order to have an abstract associated with your talk in the conference platform, you will need to have a brief, text only abstract. Many authors submitted abstracts as pdfs only, with figures and special formatting.
