Related to registration

I have been accepted for a presentation and asked to register quickly. Is there a spot reserved for me, given I will be a presenter?

I have missed the submission deadline (abstract, pre-conference course)? Can I still submit a contribution?

No.

The submission deadline has passed. Will there be an extension?

The instructions state that “Each presenter may present only one talk/poster.” Does this mean I can present a talk and poster or one or the other?

No. Just one or the other.

I have submitted an abstract for “presentation only”. It got rejected. Is there an option I still can present a poster?

No. Decisions are final. If you have indicated that you are willing to present only and did not make that cut your contribution has been rejected.

I have submitted an abstract for “presentation or poster”. It got rejected. Is there an option I still can present a poster?
