All Participants need to do a presentation or poster, and they may or may not submit a full paper for publication. Attendees do not need to do a presentation or poster, or even submit a paper. Instead, they can join the conference to listen in and enjoy the presentations of others and they may also participate in the online workshops and training sessions that will take place during the conference.

How many co-authors can register for the conference?

Presentations and articles may have a maximum of four (4) authors. Only registered authors can attend the Conference. If co-authors would like to attend the conference, they will have to register separately.
