Dear colleagues,

Thank you all for your enthusiastic response to the 16^th IWGP call for papers. We have received more than 270 participations from 5 continents and 36 countries!! Due to the large number of oral presentations submitted and the time limitation of 5 days, the conference scientific committee, aided in cases by external reviewers, has had to convert several oral presentations into posters. The review process is nearing completion and participants are being informed on a session by session basis. Registration will start on Sunday the 16^th of June, at the venue (16.00-20.00) and will continue early on Monday morning (8.00-9.00).

The VENUE will be KEDEA as announced already in the conference webpage. There is a map indicating the venue location on the webpage.  Amphitheatres II and III have been booked. The two amphitheatres are adjacent to each other and each presentation will be projected simultaneously in both rooms with the possibility to ask questions to the speakers from both rooms. Amphitheatre III opens to a large foyer, in close proximity to Amphitheatre II. Posters will be displayed in this foyer, running parallel to the sessions they belong to. You can click here to see the amphitheatres and foyer.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS: Oral presentations will last 15 minutes and 5 minutes will be dedicated to discussion.

POSTER GUIDELINES: Posters should not exceed 1.20 metres length and 0.80 metres width.
