In 2012 a new rule was instituted by Council on the number of presentations allowed per person. An individual may have only one (1) presentation role in all panel and mini-panel sessions. Individuals may have one (1) additional non-presenter role such as chair, co-chair or discussant. To ensure compliance with this policy, individuals will only be allowed to be included on one proposal as a presenter and on one additional proposal in a non-presenter role.

Each chair should confirm the willingness of all speakers to participate in their session prior to submission. This new limited role rule is applicable to panels and mini-panels only. This new rule will ensure there are more opportunities to hear from a variety of talented scientists in the field.
