- Confirm whether you are registering as an attendee, speaker, poster presenter, exhibitor or scholarship/travel-grant applicant because deadlines can differ.
- For abstracts or papers, follow the exact theme, template, word limit, author format and publication rules from the official call.
- If travel is required, check invitation-letter timing, visa processing, accommodation and travel-support deadlines early.
- Review the agenda and speakers in advance and plan the sessions and people most relevant to your goals.
