Troubleshooting
If you encounter difficulties accessing the submission portal, such as firewall restrictions, consider trying the following solutions:
- Access the portal on a desktop, as it is not optimised for small mobile devices.
- Use a different browser; the portal works best with Google Chrome.
- Connect to a different network, such as your personal internet connection. Organisation firewalls often block access, but switching to a non-workplace network typically resolves this issue.
Should the above suggestions not resolve your access issue, please contact the Congress Managers at icbi2027@arinexgroup.com.
Submitting Your Abstract
All abstracts must be submitted online via the submission portal by the submission deadline.
