Frequently Asked Questions

Please see below for some of the most frequently asked questions about ICCB 2025. 

What is the One-Talk, One-Poster Rule? 

Attendees are limited to one talk total (this includes oral and speed talks in contributed sessions and invited talks in symposia) and one poster presentation total. You can give a talk and a poster, but only if the topics are different. 

How many abstracts may I submit for ICCB? 

You may submit one abstract for a contributed talk (select between oral or speed talk) and one abstract for a poster (provided the research in your abstract for the talk and poster are from different research projects - see next FAQ).

I'm presenting a talk and a poster at ICCB. Can I use the same research for both presentations? 

No. If you present a talk and a poster, the research presented must be from different research projects. 

I'm an invited speaker in a symposium. May I also present an oral or speed talk in a contributed session? 

No. An invited speaker in a symposium is not allowed to present a talk in a contributed session (and vice versa).

May I submit an abstract for an oral talk and a speed talk? 

No. Please select the type of talk that works best for you.

Can I submit two proposals?

You may submit up to two proposals for ICCB, but no more than one proposal for category. For example, you can submit a proposal for a symposium and a workshop, but not for two symposia.

Does ICCB accept volunteers?

Yes, we do accept volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering during the conference, you will be able to express your interest in volunteering when you register. On site volunteers will receive 50% off of conference registration. We prioritize volunteers from low and middle income countries and the Pacific Islands and students.

Early bird registration will open in October and we will be publishing registration rates soon. You will be able to register through our conference platform, and the link will be provided once it opens. 

What are the accommodation options in Meanjin/Brisbane, what is the cost, and where does one book them?
