Notifications of the acceptance of submissions will be sent out no  
later than 19th May 2017. The early bird registration fee will be  
available up until 30th June 2017.

For organizational constraints, due to the large number of tourists  
expected in Naples in September, submission deadline and acceptance  
notification for ENBIS-17 conference are earlier than usual so as to  
allow participants to properly organize travel and accommodation.

We're looking forward to seeing you in Naples,
