2016 Programme Planner

The Programme Planner and Itinerary Builder enables you:

- to view all sessions, meetings, rooms...
- to search programme and abstracts by abstract title, author(s), keywords, institutions and text
- to view abstract text (as of May 8)
- to browse and view all sessions
- to pick papers or entire sessions and to add them to your personal itinerary through the meeting. This itinerary can be printed and/or downloaded to a mobile device.

Access the programme planner and itinerary builder.

Note: Most of the conference abstracts are freely available and can be reported from the time they appear on this website. Any abstracts that will form part of the media programme will not be published until the day of their presentation and will be embargoed to that date. Embargo dates and times are given on the press releases and should be adhered to. When asking for outside comment on releases before the embargo has lifted, journalists are requested to ensure that those consulted understand and accept the embargo conditions.
