[ICA 2022] Virtual Attendance Option is available! Also, early registration is extended to Jul. 22, 2022!

Dear ICA 2022 Authors and Participants,

Thanks for your participation in ICA 2022 to be held in Gyeongju, Korea.

As already announced, the congress format of ICA 2022 will be a face-to-face one in principle. Also, you remember that we promised the virtual format in parallel to the in-face meeting. Considering the uncertainty in the COVID-19 spreading in the world and the participants who may have difficulties travelling to Korea in the autumn season, the organizing committee of ICA2022 is currently preparing the hybrid conference format. However, due to the financial problems in operation, we exclude the real-time broadcasting of the presentation.

For the participants who cannot physically attend and present at the congress, please select ‘virtual’ option when you submit the final paper. You can also modify your attendance option on the ‘Participant Info’ page (either ‘In person’ or ‘Virtual’). The registration fees are identically requested regardless of the attendance option.

The following is the detailed information for the virtual participants and presenters:

● On-site participants making in-person presentations at the venue will be asked if the recording of their presentation will be allowed. The recorded video file, including Q&A, will be uploaded on the virtual platform after the congress. (It can be replaced with the VOD without on-site recording.)

● Participants of the virtual congress will be asked to submit their pre-recorded video files (VOD) for all accepted full papers before the congress by September 22. Detailed guidelines will be announced in August. The pre-recorded video files (VOD) will be provided on the virtual platform during the congress. The Q&A for each presentation in the virtual format VOD will be collected through the virtual platform.

● The virtual congress with recorded in-person presentations and uploaded VODs with Q&A will be available for viewing for 1 week after the congress.

The deadline for the Early-Bird Registration will be extended for a week, i.e., July 22, to provide a chance for the participants who missed the deadline for some reason. So, please do not miss the opportunity to register before July 22 to get a discounted registration fee!

Of course, we have a Plan B in case of worsening conditions. If (1) there is mandatory isolation for visitors coming from outside of Korea or (2) mass gatherings are prohibited by the government, then the congress mode will be also available on-line format. 

We earnestly hope to see you in Gyeongju in October!

Best regards,

Prof. Jeong-Guon Ih

President

Organizing Committee of ICA 2022
