Q. When is the due for Pre-registration?

A. We closed the pre-registration. However, if you are already pre-registered, you can go back to the pre-registration page and update abstract, etc.

Q. What happens if you select "Personal" or "MailList" for Type next to Email address in the pre-registration form?

A. If you choose "Personal", you will receive the confirmation e-mail. If you choose "MailList", you will not receive the confirmation e-mail. Whichever you choose, the public announcements from the organizers will be equally e-mailed to the address you provided.

Q. When the registration start?

A. LOC is now working hard to set up the registration. The information for the registration will be available in August.

Q. How is the registration different from pre-registration?

A. We are just collecting information on pre-registration. We do not assume all the pre-registered people will attend the meeting. There is no obligation for you to attend the meeting even if you choose "I will attend" in the pre-registration form. Registration is, on the contrary, for those only who decided to attend the meeting. Upon registration, we will ask payment information (i.e, credit card information). We will collect registration fee and any additional charges for various meeting activities, if applicable. Once you register and if you wish to cancel it, cancellation fees may apply. We will arrange accommodation in the registration process. We will collect information regarding accompanied person to calculate additional fees and to arrange logistics.

Q. I cannot attend the meeting but want to present a poster. Can I do it?

A. Of course. Open pre-registration page and select "Not Attend" in 1. Conference Attendance. Enter 2. Contact Information and write down how the poster will be brought to the meeting and the name of a participant who can be a contact person for your poster. And enter 3. Contributions.
