News Flash: Extension of Abstract Submission Deadline!!

The Scientific Committee has decided to extend the deadline for submission of abstracts for the IIFET 2012 Tanzania conference from February 1 to FEBRUARY 15, 2012.

This is in order to give participants from developing countries who may have learned about the conference late, time to submit abstracts. However, the extension applies to everyone!

The information below is a repeat of information sent last week, with information about the submission process.

****************

Please visit the conference website: http://www.xcdsystem.com/iifet2012/, and choose “abstract submission” to submit your abstract.

Helpful Hint: on your first visit to the abstract submission site, you will need to ESTABLISH YOUR PROFILEbefore you can submit your abstract. Click on “IIFET 2012 Abstract – Abstract submission”, and you’ll see two sections. On the left is the “First Time User” section. Click on “click here to create a profile”. You’ll be asked for your name, email, and address information.

Fill it all in and click “create profile”. The system will then send you your username and password in an email, to the address you provided in the profile (so be sure your email address contains no errors!). SAVE your username and password; you will need it through July of this year.

Then, return to the site, this time using the right side of the form, for “Returning User”. Put your username and password in, and voila! You can submit your most excellent abstract for consideration by our Scientific Committee.

You can establish your profile at any time, so that you’ll have your username and password ready to return later to submit your abstract.

If you have questions or problems with the process, IIFET TZ Program Coordinator Christopher Cusack stands ready to help you, and will respond within 1 business day of your query (please remember the time difference between your time zone and ours—we’re on Pacific Time.) Write to Chris at iifet2012tz@gmail.com.

See you in Dar!
