Medicine 2.0'12 News: (Almost) all presenters informed
Almost all submitters have now been informed about the outcome of their submissions. If you did not get a message, it is likely that a spam filter has eaten it - in this case, please login at http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2012/presenter and click on the abstract title (you may have to go to "Archive" first). Then click on the icon next to "Director/Author Email Record" to retrieve the email we sent you. Please carefully review the reviewer comments and edit the abstract within 2 weeks. Failure to do so may lead to a loss of your presentation slot. Also, we require all presenters to register within 2 weeks (login and click on the registration link). Again, failure to do so may lead to a loss of your presentation slot, as we will only add presentations of registered participants to the program. We have accepted some great presentations: 105 oral presentations 67 rapid fire presentations 11 panels 7 start-up pitches 5 tabletop demos 125 poster presentations an additional 23 presentations are still under review or require the author to make revisions before final acceptance If you submitted an abstract but cannot find your abstract in the list on the website, this does NOT mean that it has been rejected. Please login and read the notification email. If the decision was "accepted with revisions" then we may post the abstract only after you addressed the reviewer comments. This will truly be a remarkable congress!

Medicine 2.0'12 News - March 30th, 2012
Medicine 2.0 - 5th World Congress on Social Media, Mobile Health, and Internet/Web 2.0 in Medicine and Health Boston, Sept 15-16th, 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. Abstract acceptance notifications We are starting to send out abstract acceptance notifications - but don't panic if you haven't heard from us yet, we are about 30% done - to go through 350 submissions takes time. We hope to have all decisions sent out by mid-April. 2. What a program! To get a sense of the high quality talks and presentations we will have in the program, have a look at already accepted abstracts at http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2012/schedConf/presentations and at the speakers who already registered at http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2012/social/attendees ! And this is only one third of it... (To add yourself to this list of attendees, simply register - if you also authored or coauthored an accepted abstract, you will automatically show up in the speaker list). 3. Help us to review! Some abstracts still don't have enough reviews - if you indicated your willingness to review, please check pending submissions at http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2012/reviewer in case our review request emails didn't go through! Please remember to comment on whether a presentation should be accepted as full oral, short oral (rapid fire) or poster presentation. Thanks for your help and happy reviewing! 4. Book early (registration, hotel, flight...) With over 350 submissions we expect to sell out early - please register as soon as possible by logging in at http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2012/user and clicking the registration link. Remember that rates are still low and will go up once the final program is posted. Also, there is a limited number of hotels in the area - make your reservation early! See http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2012/schedConf/accommodation. If you want to look into flights, plan to arrive on Friday Sept 14th, as we will start around 8am on Sat, Sept 15th. We will end in the later afternoon on Sun, Sept 16th (around 5pm?). We look forward seeing you in Boston Your med2 Organizing Committee

340 Abstracts received - thank you!
The response to our Medicine 2.0'12 Call for Abstracts was amazing and broke all records - this year we received over 340 abstracts - a 226% increase over last years' Medicine 2.0 at Stanford. Thank you! This will be a great conference! Given the response we now anticipate that the conference will sell out (the space is limited to about 400 participants), so we suggest to register early to secure your ticket and also to benefit from the pre-program rate (once the program is published, rates will go up). For those who have submitted abstracts, we anticipate to send out notifications end of March/early April. Please login to check the status of your submission if you have not heard from us by mid-April (your spamfilter may have eaten our notification email). Once your abstract has been accepted, you have 2 weeks to register for the conference. Due to the limited speaking slots and large number of submissions, we ask you to register immediately to confirm your participation - failure to register may lead to loss of the speaking slot.

Deadline Extension: Grace period for abstract submission 1 week (14 March 2012)
Almost 300 abstracts have been submitted so far for Medicine 2.0'12. To accommodate authors who had technical problems submitting their abstract, we are leaving the submission system open for an additional week. The final deadline for regular abstract submissions is Wednesday, March 7th, 2012 March 14th, 2012 (see Call for abstracts). Authors who have already submitted an abstract should refrain from submitting a second or edited version of their submission, because peer-review of the submissions has already started. Certain abstract types (expo tables etc.) may still be submitted after this deadline, but are dependent on space/slot availability.
