The final programme will be published on the meeting website. The Scientific Commitee reserves the right to make the final decision concerning form of presentation but authors are asked to indicate their preference.


Authors, whose abstracts have been accepted, must register for the Congress and pay the registration fee. Failure to do so will result in exclusion from the programme and the Book of Abstracts.

Slide content and design

Disclosure
If the research was supported by a pharmaceutical company you must indicate the company’s role in analysing the data or preparing the slides.

1. Material on slides must be of an adequate size to be seen clerly by all delegates
2. It is recommended that each slide contains no more then seven lines of next and no more than seven words per line.
3. If showing graphs, tables or charts:
- Do not make them too crowded
- Complex figures should be broken up into series
- Limit the number of captions
- Use rounded figures
4. As a rough guide, we suggest you allow no more than two slides per minute of your talk
5. Slides are easier to read when there is a high contract between the next and the background
