Each special topic session will have at least 4 papers. The session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, etc. The review process for invited sessions will strictly follow the review process for regular submission.

Temas de la Conferencia Tópicos

IBIMA has started the "Virtual Presentation" program in 2003. The program was developed over the years to allow presenters to both present their papers via online live virtual presentation and post their PowerPoint presentations on IBIMA YouTube Channel: IBIMA Media for lifetime preservation. youtube.com/IBIMAMedia. This combination allows for rich environment that facilitates full exposure of research efforts and promotes networking with researchers from around the world with similar research interests.

Virtual presentations program was carefully designed and perfected over the years for those who are unable to attend the conference in person due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and social distancing laws, schedule conflict, teaching/research load, long flights to conference location, visa issues, or budget constraints but wish to participate with their research in this major international event.

The review process for virtual presentations will strictly follow the normal review process for submitted papers. Please refer to Call for Papers.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If it takes long time to get travel request approved at your university and process VISA application, we recommend that you send your paper at the earliest possible date to allow us to receive the manuscript to reviewers and get reviews back in timely fashion.
