Also only use the poster session number (1 or 2), the last name, and ID of the presenter as file name, i. e. 1miller12345.pdf in the case your poster is in session I (1), your last name is Miller, and your BPS '19 registration ID is 12345.

Then convert your abstract into a pdf and upload. Only PDF-files submitted online are accepted. Thus, don't send any MS Word, Latex, or other text files, or fax or email your abstract.

Please note, the Abstract Book will be printed in grey shades, thus any colored figures will be converted.

Preferably you will bring your own laptop; otherwise we will need your file on a USB stick, Powerpoint presentations must be saved with "Package Presentation for CD" to imbed all me-dia. During the breaks, the laptops for the following session will be installed and tested. Thus, bring your system to the front during the break preceding your presentation. Currently the equipment in the lecture halls only sup-port VGA cable, in the case your laptop only features a digital display port (HMDI, DVI, Apple, etc.) you must bring your own
