*Registration fees are optional but encouraged. When registering, those who wish not to make a financial contribution to the conference will have that option. Although registration is optional, your registration information, even if you opt out of the fee,
will allow us to keep you updated about conference activities. Registration fees will support the digital format technology, the editing and publication of abstracts, and keeping the conference sustainable.
