| 2016, 14-17 March 10th International Conference on Voice Physiology and Biomechanics CALL FOR PAPERS - ICVPB 2016, Viña del Mar, Chile. We are pleased to invite you to the 10th International Conference on Voice Physiology and Biomechanics, ICVPB 2016, celebrated for the first time in the Southern hemisphere, in Viña del Mar, Chile. ICVPB is one of the prime international forums for current scientific research on the larynx and voice, dating back to 1980. Abstract submission Deadline: October 2, 2015 Notification of Acceptance: November 30, 2015 Contributions include oral presentations and poster sessions. You may submit your extended abstract to our peer-review system by visiting the Ex Ordo abstract submission website (you will be required to setup an account first): http://icvpb2016.exordo.com/ Conference information
