If your abstract is selected and you accept, you will be considered an attending participant to the Conference and will be required to pay the full registration as long as you are approved to attend the event by your management.
Authors presenting papers will be responsible for obtaining all necessary approvals and releases. This will include giving a presentation at the Conference and for dissemination on the website.

Presentation Guidelines:

Each presenter must not exceed 30 minutes (including Q&A time). Presentations must be uploaded to the agenda, and speakers must participate at the scheduled time.
Test your presentation by printing and reading from a distance to ensure font size is legible.
Send your presentation ahead of time so it can be previewed for any technical issues. Also take advantage of speaker review times to review your presentation on the equipment you will be using for presentation and in the room where you will present. This should ensure that no problems will occur on the day of your presentation.
Always bring a backup copy of your presentation with you, just in case your main copy is lost or damaged.
