VIRTUAL CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE
As previously announced, GCGW 2021 is a virtual conference this year and will be held on August 1-4 2021 through the Whova platform. Each paper is required to be submitted as a pre-recorded presentation and should be submitted on the following link: https://driveuploader.com/upload/77ZUOhiRMX/

To ensure conference runs smoothly while maintaining levels of interactivity we will be running technical sessions as a blend of live & pre-recorded content. Each Presenter is required to upload a pre-recorded video of their oral presentation by July 10.
Presenters will be expected to attend their live-session where their pre-recorded video will be shown (If the presenter wishes they may present live). Following each oral presentation, a live Q&A will take place. Attendees will be requested to attend their session 10 minutes before the scheduled start time to test their microphone level and meet the session chair.
The deadline for uploading the presentation and specifying the presenter who will attend the live session is: July 10, 2021
