Every effort will be made to ensure that sessions start and end on time. Presenters and congress delegates are all asked to work together to achieve this. This may mean having to quickly end a valuable discussion. However, the Congress organizers request cooperation for the benefit of all delegates and hope you will take the opportunity to continue discussions after session outside of the room.
You are not permitted to make sound or video recordings or take photographs during sessions. We request that all mobile phones and/or pagers be turned off or set to silence before entering sessions.
