Presenting Authors

The presenting author is the person who will present the paper at the conference. Conference organizers will communicate only with the presenting author and all communication will be by email. For this reason, presenting authors must provide contact details, including an email address. The presenting author is asked to register for the conference no later than May 2, 2022.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The uncertainty created by COVID has led us to decide to hold our June 2022 conference in a virtual format rather than in-person. We are working diligently to create a captivating virtual conference for June 2022!
