Call for Abstracts

Personal Itinerary Builder (Abstract Library)

Attendees are invited to create their own congress program by utilizing the Personal Itinerary Builder. The Personal Itinerary Builder allows you to search for all abstracts submitted to the TTS2010 Congress. Intelligent search functions help finding any abstract within seconds. You can search by session, presentation type, moderator, author or topic. In order to build your personal itinerary (your program at a glance), create your own account first and then simply bookmark the respective sessions/presentations you wish to attend to add them to your personal program.

Once you have finished putting your program together, a PDF file will be created which you may either print or save to your computer. You may return to your programme whenever you want. Re-enter with your password and you'll always find the latest version of your itinerary.
