#### Authors

You may be asked if this work is a student submission at the top of the page. You can choose **Yes** or **No**.

You can add in information about the authors on this step. Each conference is unique, but conferences generally request information such as:

You may receive an error message when copy/pasting author emails. This is because you have copied a blank character before or after the email address. Please copy the email address without blank characters; or type the email in to proceed. 

 

Finally, ensure you have the correct corresponding and presenting authors by placing a check in the box under each author. You can have one corresponding author only. Conference organisers may limit the number of presenting authors.
