I've included the call for presentations below - looking forward to receiving your presentation proposals!

Thanks!

removed.

Final slides are to be provided by the specified deadline for
publication on the APRICOT website.

Prospective presenters should note that the majority of speaking slots
will be filled well before the final submission deadline. The PC may,
at their discretion, retain a limited number of slots up to the final
submission deadline for presentations that are exceptionally timely,
important, or of critical operational importance. Every year we turn
away submissions, due to filling up all available programme slots
before the deadline. Presenters should endeavour to get material into
the PC sooner rather than later.

Any questions or concerns should be addressed to the Programme
Committee by e-mail at:

pc-chairs at apricot.net

We look forward to receiving your presentation proposals.
