<li> <font color="#000080">each speaker has to submit an abstract
by the given <b>deadline of June 19, 2012</b>. We have been
told, there will be no exceptions due to fairness to all
participants. However, I trust, you have plenty of time to
fulfill this step. Abstract submission will run from May 19 -
June 19, 2012.</font> </li>
