Q5 Is conference registration only open for presenters? Is it possible to register as a non-presenting participant?
A5 – Anyone interested in participating can register. Once you have completed the registration and online payment, you will receive an ID, password and URL by e-mail. You can participate in the conference platform, through which we will provide the live-streaming of the keynote addresses, and entry to various sessions. Pre-recorded presentation will be available for view and the audience can send comments. There will also be a live session for discussion.
Q6 What should I do if I want to cancel my PRESENTATION?
A6 – Cancellation of presenter registration must be submitted in writing or via email < info_icts14 [at] cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp > and is valid only with acknowledgement by the ICTS14 Organizing Committee. For panel presentations, please note that we need cancellation letter from each member of a panel.
Q7 What should I do if I want to cancel my CONFERENCE REGISTRATION?
A7 – Cancellation of CONFERENCE REGISTRATION must be submitted in writing or via email < info_icts14 [at] cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp > and is valid only with acknowledgement by the ICTS14 secretariat. If you cancel your participation, 100% of the registration fee will be refunded at once, and “Cancellation fee/ Administrative fee” will be charged afterwards according to the regulations automatically. Please see the cancellation regulation before you actually cancelled. Even if you cancel and then re-register right away, you will still be charged a processing fee automatically, so please be careful and consider carefully before canceling.
Q8 If I don't have my Student ID card to upload, what document can be used instead?
A8 – In order to complete the registration process with the student rate, we need your Student ID for verification. We would like you to upload documents that clearly show your name and affiliation and valid date. If you don’t have Student ID card, please submit a Certificate of Student Status issued by your university/organization instead.
Q9 Why is the status of my abstract still displayed as ”Final submission date” is ”Not completed”. What should I do for the next step to complete?
A9 – The “Not completed” error is caused by the fact that the “Submit” button was not pressed during the “Last Registration Period” and there is no problem with the adoption result. However, we may be able to assist you in removing the signature as well, so please contact us.
Q10 What we mean when we say “ONLINE conference”?
