Plenary sessions will be conducted both in-person and online. Due to limitations related to the venues’ Wi-Fi availability and facilities, we cannot provide online access for the other sessions. We have set up a limited number of sessions exclusively online. If attending in-person is difficult for you, please participate in these sessions.

If you are unable to attend due to health issues, please notify the conference secretariat (jasid2023fall@gmail.com). You cannot switch to an online presentation. You cannot also present a video-recorded presentation since it does not allow for real-time Q&A.
