With your participation, we hope to orchestrate a program that will be beneficial to students, educators, researchers and professionals.
Past conference (2014, 2015, and 2016) programs and evaluation reports are on the conference website.
We have limited capacity and therefore, the only way to guarantee registration with limited capacity is through scholarships, program participation, and sponsorships.
