All talks will be 20 minutes in length except the theme speaker talks, which will be 30 minutes in length. We ask all speakers to reserve 5 minutes for questions.

In order to make sure that the oral sessions run on time, we would like to ask everyone to send their slides for the presentations in advance so that we can set up shared laptops for this purpose. The two laptops have the following configurations:

- LAPTOP_1: MS Windows7 Pro, MS Office Standard 2010 SP1, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.11, Windows Media Player 11, VLC 2.2.1

- LAPTOP_2: Mac OSX 10.10.3 Yosemite, MS Office 2011 for Mac, KeyNote 6.5.3, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.11, VLC 2.2.1, Quicktime 10.4.

Please upload your presentation using the following link: https://bcbl.sharefile.com/r-r06a4542b0554647b at least ONE DAY before the talks so that we can test whether they work.

Please name the presentation according to the oral session the presentation is for (e.g.: OS-2.3 for Oral Session 2, third presentation). The presentations will be loaded in both computers .

Also note that during the registration, coffee and lunch breaks, presenters will be able to test their presentations for the upcoming session.

On line registration is now closed. ON SITE registration will be very limited and we cannot guarantee seats for a large number of on site registrants. Therefore we ask anyone planning to attend to contact us as soon as possible to reserve your space.

Participants are requested to design posters with the following dimension:

- Maximum poster height: 120 cm

- Maximum poster width: 90 cm

Each poster will be given a unique number which correspond to the poster panel. Participants are requested to put up their poster during the lunch break on the day corresponding to their poster presentation so as to increase the opportunity for other participants to read it. Posters should be removed by the end of the day (before 7:00 pm), but can stay on the panels until then.

Abstracts are limited to 200 words maximum. Please select your preference regarding a poster presentation or an oral presentation. Individuals who select both boxes will be considered for an oral presentation first. Note that due to a high number of submissions and limited number of slots, we will not be able to accommodate all requests for oral presentations. Selections for an oral presentation will be made by the scientific committee, factoring in both the author preferences and scientific quality of the submission.
