About the Registration Requirement for
Authors and Presenters
GEC World Summit requires at least one author
(the presenting author) of
each accepted full or poster paper to complete a paid registration
by
the AUTHOR REGISTRATION DEADLINE, MARCH 23, 2009, or the
paper will be
removed from the proceedings.
One registered author may register for, and present, at
most, one full
paper and one poster paper, or two poster papers. No one
author may
present more than one full paper unless he/she is the sole
author of
both of those papers.
If authors other than the registered presenting author wish
to attend
the conference, those authors must also complete a paid registration.
No
person can attend the conference without paying the registration
fee.
