Presentations will adhere to the content and conclusions of abstracts, as submitted and reviewed.
Listed co-authors will have made a bona fide contribution to the project. Conversely, the presenter
should remain gracious by offering collaborators the opportunity for recognition as a co-author. All
co-authors must be aware of their inclusion and have accepted that recognition. Presenters must be

abstract implies a sincere intent to attend the meeting.
