• Abstracts will be reviewed by the Organizing Committee.
  
  
• Abstracts not conforming to instructions will be rejected.
  
  
• Once abstracts are reviewed, authors will be notified of the status of acceptance before a date that is yet to be decided, but possibly by late 2008.
  
  
• The Committee reserves the right to limit the number of presentations and change the presentation type from oral to poster presentation.
  
  
• More than one summary abstract can be submitted. To ensure maximum participation, each individual is allowed to present only one oral presentation, however, an individual may be a co-author on several abstracts for oral presentations. There will be no limit on the number of poster presentations that the main author can present. Please use the electronic submission form for each submission by sending the proposed abstracts independently.
  
  
• Before submitting an abstract, authors should be confident that they will be attending the meeting and making the presentation. If circumstances prevent attendance, the author should attempt to find another individual to make the presentation. If cancellation is unavoidable, the author should notify seri2009@bgpa.wa.gov.au as soon as possible.

Please, submit abstracts using the electronic submission form that will be available on-line in 2008. Should you have any queries, please e-mail: seri2009@bgpa.wa.gov.au
