Deadline Reminder: Registration & Abstract Submission (April 20)
Registration and abstract submission for the 2026 International Medical Metabolism Conference will close on April 20, 2026 (23:59, GMT+8).
Participants are kindly advised to complete both registration and submission before the deadline, as late submissions will not be accepted.
We warmly encourage those who have not yet completed their registration or abstract submission to do so as soon as possible, so as not to miss this valuable opportunity for international academic exchange.
Please note that login credentials for the submission system will be provided only after payment has been successfully confirmed. Presenters are also required to bring a printed poster and mount it on-site during the conference. Poster evaluation will take place during the lunch session on May 13, and participants are advised to plan accordingly.
