Types of participation and general information

The official language of the conference is English. Translation and interpreting services will not be available. The conference room is set up in theatre style and has a capacity of 150 people. The dress code is business casual to business attire. Please arrive at the conference room at least 30 minutes before your session begins. There may be changes to the conference program, for which participants will be notified in a timely manner. Access to the conference room is available only to registered participants.

To ensure flexibility for our participants, you are permitted to make unlimited changes to your presentation type (onsite or online) up to 30 days before the actual conference date.

Oral presenters will be given 10 minutes to present their work and additional 5 minutes for questions and answers. Moderators will be strict about timing. Your presentation must be in PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX) or PDF format. Presenter View in PowerPoint will be available, if needed, for your presentation. Prezi, Keynote and other formats are not supported. The playback of audio and video files is not allowed. All presentations must be in widescreen 16:9 ratio to match the size of the projection screen.

The conference room is equipped with overhead multimedia projector, large screen, lectern, laptop (with PowerPoint and Acrobat Reader installed), wireless microphones for both the presenter and those willing to ask questions, wireless remote for slides control with integrated timer and laser pointer. Presenters are not allowed to use their own equipment. A technician will assist you with starting your presentation. Once the presentation is launched, you will control/advance the slides. There will be no internet access on the presentation computer.

Presentations must be submitted in advance using our online submission form. Please bring a copy of your presentation to the conference on a USB memory stick as a backup. All presenters will be given the opportunity to check their presentations in advance. You are encouraged to review your presentation on the day before your talk.

Your poster must be 80 cm (32 inches) in width and 90 cm (36 inches) in height. Text and graphics should be readable from 2 meters (6 feet). Authors should bring their own printed poster with them to the conference. We are unable to accept posters in advance by mail or to print posters on site. We will provide free-standing poster boards and suitable fixing materials. Tables or other support devices will not be provided and are not allowed. Business cards and small handouts may be attached to the poster board.

The duration of each poster session is 1 hour. Please hung your poster at least 30 minutes before the start of your session. Each poster has a number in the conference program and must be placed at the board matching its number. Please remove your poster at the end of the day or it may be discarded.

Presenting a poster is less formal than a talk. Your role is to stand by your poster to offer information and answer questions about your research. While some people like to read posters on their own, the majority of people are thrilled to have you "walk them through the poster".

Online presentations are suitable for those unable to attend the conference in person. You can have either online oral presentation or online poster presentation. Online participants receive all conference materials (program, certificate, etc.) by email. There are no differences in the process of reviewing and publishing articles. All presentations (onsite and online) are recorded, and together with the posters will be available to the participants after the conference.

Online Oral Presentation
We prefer a live audio-video connection via the free ZOOM application, for online oral presentations. You would need to share your screen with the rest of the participants, and open your PowerPoint presentation as normal. Questions to the presentation can be proposed via the in-meeting chat. The session moderator would then choose which of them would be asked after the presentation is over.

In case there are any time zone differences, poor internet connectivity, or there is another reason you are unable to present your report at the specified time, you can send us a pre-recorded video with sound or a PowerPoint slideshow with narration.

Online Poster Presentation
You can send your online posters in PDF or PowerPoint by email, and we will print and hang them. Please do not forget to include contact information in case another participant wishes to contact you.

Invoices will be sent via email as a PDF attachment. In order to receive an invoice on behalf of a company or organisation you must state this in the registration form. If payment is made by a private individual, the final invoice will be issued in their name. On the other hand, if an organization - such as a university, institute, or company - makes the payment, the invoice will be issued to that organization. We cannot make exceptions to this policy due to legal requirements.

Organizations within the European Union that are VAT registered may be eligible for VAT reverse charge, where VAT is accounted for in the country of the payer, not the supplier. These invoices should be paid from the organization's bank account. Please do not use personal bank accounts or personal credit/debit cards to settle invoices that fall under the VAT reverse charge mechanism. If you do, you will be responsible for paying the VAT to ensure your participation fee is considered fully paid.

Map of Bulgaria

Bulgaria, officially the Republic of Bulgaria, is a southeastern European country and a member of the European Union. It is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and North Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. Founded in the 7th century, it is one of Europe's oldest states, with a rich history influenced by the ancient empires of Rome, Greece, and Byzantium. The official language is Bulgarian, which is written in the Cyrillic alphabet. Bulgaria is known for its variety of scenery, including rugged mountains and relaxing Black Sea resorts, and is one of Europe's most biodiverse countries, with almost a third of the land covered in forests. The climate is moderate, with hot, dry summers and cold winters.

The citizens of European Union, Australia, Canada, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Lichtenstein, Malaysia, Norway, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, UAE, USA and the holders of valid Schengen visas do not need a visa to travel to Bulgaria. Please visit the website of Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more comprehensive and up-to-date information.

Burgas is the fourth largest city in Bulgaria, situated on the Black Sea Coast. It is a significant center for industry, transportation, and culture, with numerous tourist attractions in the region. Located by the sea and surrounded by lakes, Burgas has a relatively mild climate, making it an ideal destination for beach-goers. The area has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to ancient times. Burgas is served by its own international airport and is located 380 km (236 miles) from Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.

Hotel Bulgaria is located in the heart of Burgas, just steps away from the main pedestrian street, Aleksandrovska, and City Hall. The nearest beach is only 15 minutes away. This 4-star hotel boasts 194 rooms and was first opened in 1976. It has undergone a complete renovation in 2020. Along with the restaurant, guests can enjoy the lobby bar, full-service spa, fitness center, nightclub, and casino.
