Presentation Guidelines

The organizers of the conference will present the submitted pre-recorded video presentation of the proponents during the parallel session. After 5 presentations, Q&A will be done.  

In case of technical glitches on the part of the organizers, presenters are advised to be ready in presenting their pre-recorded video to reduce downtime.

For papers with multiple authors, only one author is allowed to answer during the Q&A. However, as long as the co-author(s) have registered and attended the conference, they will still be provided the certificate/s of presentation.

Registration Guidelines

Contenders’ affiliation as reflected in their certificates will be based on the institution, they have identified within their respective paper submissions. Contenders who are registering under the student category should present to the secretariat during the conference their valid student identification cards or study load / certificate of registration as proof. Note that the student registration category is not limited to undergraduates. Note also, that there is no separate category for students during the parallel sessions i.e. students and professionals battle it out in the same field.

Note: Presenters and participants should register thru this link after the letter acceptance of abstracts may confirmed. See link attached on the Notice of Acceptance.
