Registration

Those who wish to submit an abstract must first register to attend the conference. The deadline for submission of oral abstracts is 1 March, 2013. The deadline for poster-only abstracts is 31 March, 2013. Registration must be received and acknowledged before you will be able to submit an abstract. Shortly after submitting your registration, you will receive a confirming email containing a link to the abstract submission site. Your registration ID number will be required for abstract submission.

Plan ahead!
Consider the length of time your institution takes to pay invoices. A purchase order number is not considered payment. The actual funds by check, wire transfer or credit card must be RECEIVED by 15 April, 2013 for the early discount to apply and to keep your abstract in the program. If funds are received after 15 April you will owe the full registration fee, even if you completed online registration prior to 31 March.

A note about meals: Davos offers a variety of cafes open for lunch and dinner, although capacity is limited and prices can be expensive. We have left one dinner (Thursday) open for you to dine out in Davos, but otherwise we suggest that you consider the full package of meals for the opportunity to interact with your colleagues while dining at a reasonable cost.
