(updated below on September 15)

• The Organizing Committee are expecting to hold the in-person conference, but the poster presentation formats have been changed to using a virtual event platform. No poster will be displayed at the onsite venue.
• Poster presenters are required to upload their posters (data) onto the virtual platform in advance, and all the participants can view them on the days of the conference.
• The discussions between presenters and participants will be available only by chat through the virtual platform at any time during the conference period. No presentation & discussion time will be allotted to each presenter.
• A poster template and the further instructions for poster presenters will be distributed in October.
• If the poster presenters cannot attend the conference in-person for unavoidable reasons, the remote participation will be acceptable. Most programs (invited lectures, symposia, oral sessions… except poster sessions) will be held in-person at the conference venue. Therefore, we recommend that poster presenters will attend the conference in-person, but will provide the live streaming in some (but not all) session rooms to those who attend remotely. Also, please note that the registration fees are not discounted for remote participants.
