To obtain your invitation letter, please ensure that your registration payment has been completed and that any accepted abstract or paper has been formally confirmed by the program committee. The secretariat endeavors to issue letters promptly, typically within three to five business days of receiving a complete request, and will correspond directly with the email address provided during registration.
