Usage of SNS

The organizing committee of the 59th annual meeting encourages the use of social media to promote communication among the participants of the meeting. We ask all the presenters who are using some of the social media to post his/her presentation information. Please use the annual meeting hashtag #59bsj2021 and your presentation number when posting. This will facilitate citations of your presentation by other participants. We further encourage you to share presentation information of your group members, highlights from other presentations, and award information, suggest sessions to attend, and connect with your fellows, as well as our sponsors and exhibitors.
If a presenter does not wish to have his/her research shared via social media, please make an announcement before and during his/her presentation. We strongly encourage compliance with speaker requests regarding social media sharing.

Passwords and URLs sent to the registered participants should NOT be shared with non-registered people.
