It is always our first priority to guarantee the safety of the Conference. To minimize the risk of health caused by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the following measures and arrangements will be applied in the main event of the Conference in June.

• Those who refuse to sign the form will not be allowed to participate in the on-site event.

Badges

• Participants have to wear their name badges at all times during conference hours.
• Badges are picked up upon arrival during check in. For replacement of lost badges or other badge-related matters, visit the Conference Registration Desk.

Maximize Social Distancing

• Allocating seats to stay at least 75cm – 1 meter away from others.

Wearing Mask

Hand Hygiene
