  Submitters accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the submitted abstract. Amendments will not be permitted after submission. The abstract will be published exactly as submitted.

  Submission of an abstract implies consent for publication in all symposium materials, including the website. Submitters must ensure that any necessary copyright or permissions clearances are secured for previously presented material, equipment, or other content.
