Parallel session and workshop chairs are fully responsible for identifying, contacting, and coordinating the participation of speakers.  A ISBR2025 Scientific Program Committee member will partner with Chairs to help you stay connected and aware of timelines and deliverables. 

Please note:

• There is no funding to support registration, travel, or accommodation of Chairs or speakers. 
• All participation in ISBR2025 sessions depends on the submission, peer-review and acceptance of an abstract by the ISBR 2025 Scientific Program Committee.
• Abstracts of accepted proposals will be published on the symposium website. 
• The ISBR 2025 Scientific Program Committee reserves the right to, in consultation with the organizers, allocate relevant talks from the open call to these sessions.
• The primary session organizer/chair and all speakers/participants must register for the symposium.
• The ISBR 2025 symposium will be 100% in-person (with no virtual component). Speakers are expected to attend the ISBR symposium in-person to deliver their presentation.
