Conference format overview

This conference will take place in its original location with the added possibility of attending remotely.

EAI and the ICAST Organizing Committee are happy to announce that due to the positive situation in Ethiopia, ICAST 2021 will take place in an on-site format with the possibility of remote attendance. To make sure that everyone who wishes to take part in the conference is  able to do so, the possibility to present your paper and interact with all the other participants remotely has been made available to everyone who would be unable to attend in person for any reason. 

To guarantee that everyone can enjoy the full conference experience, all sessions are going to be broadcasted via Zoom. All presentations done remotely will be shown live to the attendees on-site, and vice versa, while each presentation will be followed by a Q&A facilitated via Zoom with the help of on-site staff. Those of you, who wish to connect with any other participant 1-on-1 may find them in the EAI Compass via the conference program or in the People tab. 

If you plan on attending the conference remotely, please note that to ensure the smoothest possible experience, it is required that you pre-record your presentation and send it to EAI for processing, following these instructions.

Please be aware that a recording of the conference including your presentation and the subsequent Q&A may be published for general consumption at EAI’s discretion.

To maintain the health and safety of all those in attendance, any and all recommendations made by the local government will be observed. If you plan on attending this conference in person, we strongly encourage you to follow the local safety directives.
