• Mac Users: if you have trouble submitting your abstract, try submitting from a PC. If you are still having issues, please contact the Secretariat

• Mozilla Users: the security policy in Mozilla often prevents pasting from your clipboard without using the menu commands. You can still cut and paste your abstract into the submission, but you may have to use the menu command rather than the ‘control v’ shortcut

  • Ensure your abstract text is less than 250 words as the system will not accept submissions over this limit. The word count does NOT include your title, authoring or cited references

  • Have your abstract open on your own computer to enable you to cut and paste it into the submission system
