Registration Policies, Cancellations & Refunds

First Author Registration Requirements

Registration is required for first authors of accepted posters and all symposium speakers. Presenter substitutions for posters require pre-approval by CNS and will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If an author substitution is approved, the first author must still pay the registration fee. Substitute presenters must also register. Please contact us at if you would like to request a substitute.
