REGISTRATION

1. Each paid registration includes the publication of one paper and covers registration for only one author as a participant.
2. Papers are limited to 8 pages; additional pages will incur a charge of 50 USD per page.
3. At least one author of each accepted paper must complete pre-registration.
4. Co-authors and accompanying persons may register separately as Listeners.
5. An optional one-day tour is available to all participants for an additional fee.
6. Student registration fees apply only if the first author is a student.

Please note that registration fees are non-refundable if you are unable to attend the conference. However, substitute participants are welcome with prior notification.

If cancellation is requested due to personal reasons, the following refund policy applies:

• More than 60 days before the conference: 60% refund

• 30 to 60 days before the conference: 50% refund

• Less than 30 days before the conference: No refund

All cancellation and refund requests must be submitted formally via email.

Refunds will not be issued for cancellations resulting from force majeure events (including but not limited to natural disasters, war, epidemics, or governmental restrictions). In such cases, the organizing committee reserves the right to reschedule or relocate the conference without liability.

For the safety of your personal property, please keep your belongings secure at all times. Valuables should be deposited at the front desk during the conference.

Accommodation is not included in the registration fee. Delegates are responsible for making their own hotel reservations. We strongly recommend booking your accommodation as early as possible to ensure availability.

While the conference hotel is a convenient option, you are also welcome to choose nearby hotels based on your preference.

If you need any assistance with hotel information or booking suggestions, the conference secretary will be happy to help.
