I can’t come but my co-author will present the paper/poster. What must we do?

It’s OK to substitute.Notify the officeso we can update the program, and have the presenter register. But remember: In addition to our rule about one submission per person, there is a rule about one presentation per person. This includes posters and is strictly enforced.

Can I get vegetarian or kosher meals?

Write to the SOLE office about your special dietary requirements.Please do this in advance.It is very costly to make substitutions on-site.

I wrote to the office to request a change/withdraw from the program/see if my submission was received but my letter was never acknowledged.

Unfortunately, we do not have time to acknowledge every request. Check the website first. If you do not see whatever you requested within 48 hours, then write to the office -- but always check the website first.

I require documentation for a visa.

Contact the SOLE office and explain exactly what you need -- invitation letter, appearance on the program, or whatever your country requires and we will provide it. In your email, be sure to include your postal address which will appear on the invitation letter. Please start early. Waiting till the last minute can be a problem.

My registration confirmation contained outdated contact information. How can I change this?

Check your email receipt. It should contain a link that allows you to log on to 123signup with a password and create an account. You will then be able to update your contact information. If your receipt does not contain such a link, contact the SOLE office to have the information changed.
