I am a co-author of an abstract. Would I get emails about my paper?

All relevant information about an abstract will be sent by email to the contact person ONLY. He/she will be responsible for communicating with co-authors.

I plan to send my abstract in one language, and I would like to present in another language if my paper is selected for oral presentation. Is this possible?

NO.  Abstracts submitted in a particular language must be presented in that language if that abstract is selected for oral podium or poster presentation. Breach of this requirement will result in the elimination of that abstract from the presentations session.

When will I know if my work was accepted for oral podium, or poster presentation?

At the end of this stage, the contact person of selected abstracts will be notified via email. A list of selected abstracts will also be displayed on the PTS website, here.
