Abstract Submission Deadline Extension

May 3, 2023

After careful consideration of numerous requests, we have decided to extend the deadline for abstract submission. The new submission deadline will now be May 24, 2023. We believe this extension will allow more researchers and professionals to contribute their valuable work to the conference.

Additionally, due to the extended submission period, we will need to adjust the timeline for abstract acceptance notifications. The new date for abstract acceptance notifications will be June 17, 2023.

We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to submit your abstracts within the extended timeframe.
