ARE YOU A PRESENTER OR A SESSION CONVENOR?
Please register right away! Your registration is required so that Claire Davidson, your faithful 6SCWC Programme Secretariat, can finalise the programme for publication. Everyone involved in any kind of session, including plenary, concurrent, demonstration and poster presenters, must register for the congress. If for some reason you are no longer able to participate in your session, please notify Claire right away. We will be sorry to see you go!
