Speaker Information

DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

The Congress Programme Committee requests speakers and chairpersons to disclose potential conflict of interest regarding the topics of the presentations during the first slide of the session for Chairpersons or the first slide of the presentation for Speakers. This will allow the audience to take potential conflicts of interest into account when assessing the objectivity of the presentation.

A potential conflict of interest may arise from various relationships, past or present, such as employment, consultancy, investments and stock ownership, funding for research, family relationship, etc.
