Paper Deposit Fees
When submitting a final paper, authors whose abstracts have been selected must pay a paper deposit fee of $150. This fee will be credited towards the author’s Conference registration.
Submitting a paper for the Conference constitutes an agreement that, if their paper is accepted, the author(s) will register for the Conference at the appropriate fee(s), attend the Conference, and make their presentations in person. All paper deposit fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Authors uploading more than one paper will pay only one $150 fee.
If you plan to upload a paper but a substitute author will present your paper, please note that the $150 credit will not apply to your substitute's registration fee.
