Please ensure you allow enough time for your manuscript to be approved by senior management/stakeholders.

Your session chairpersons will be reviewing a DRAFT of your manuscript. This is to improve the quality of the technical program and avoid any commercialism. The deadline for submitting your DRAFT Manuscript to your session chairperson is Wednesday, 18 October 2023.  In an effort to optimize this review process, a OneDrive upload link will be provided in due time. 

DO NOT UPLOAD YOUR DRAFT INTO THE ONLINE SYSTEM. Send directly to your session chairpersons. They will review and if applicable, advise you of any revisions to make before submitting your FINAL manuscript and forms online on or before the Manuscript deadline of Wednesday, 16 November 2023.
