They are responsible for the comprehensiveness, correctness and relevance of their contributions which shall be on the newest level of scientific research and at the state of the art.

Approval as a presenter is only granted to an individual person, not to a company or any institution the presenter may belong to. Presenters provide their contribution personally (if necessary with a co-speaker). A “substitution” of presenters is not possible.

Should a presenter forseeably not be able to deliver his or her contribution (e.g. due to illness) , he or she will contact the conference management in advance as soon as possible.
