		<h2><b>A Call for late abstracts</b></h2>
	</center>

<p>We recognize that not only did our call for abstracts fall in line with other major deadlines that many felt were an application barrier, but that we also failed to have an accessibility statement available by time the original call for abstracts closed, and hope that late abstracts may provide additional opportunities to those affected.We would like to note that although the conference is already oversubscribed and spaces are limited, we want to ensure that all interested people have an equal opportunity to apply to present in the form of a talk or on a panel.</p>

<p>Late abstracts may result in a short (15 minute) talk or contribution to a panel, and we will not be able to provide travel assistance to those who are registering for the first time with this call.
