Paper and technical presentation speakers receive one full conference registration. 
Posters
Posters will be evaluated for inclusion based on the submission of an extended abstract that consists of up to 3 pages (maximum 800 Words). Authors are encouraged to include figures in their abstract to convey information on the details and/or findings that will be covered in the poster.
