Registration
Due to the extraordinary interest in the 2019 Symposium, and the subsequent increase in delegate numbers, 2024 registration places will be offered to accepted Abstract Authors only. Reducing delegate numbers means less congestion and smaller workshop sizes.
However, smaller numbers also means that we are offering registration to the presenting author with an abstract accepted as we did in 2019. So, if you are keen to attend the Symposium, you must submit an abstract - See the Abstract page for further information.
This year we are also pleased to advise that Expert Events will be assisting with Abstracts and Registration queries via pes2024@expertevents.com.au.

Accommodation
See the Monash Prato centre site for a listing of hotels, apartments, and other accommodations types.
New accommodation options become available regularly, so be sure to review the various options before making your booking. Also, for the first-time attendees, note that Prato is a small town so it would be worthwhile to secure your accommodation early.
