Mode of presentations

The Local Organizing Committee has been working with the wish to host
a fully physical conference, where sign language specialists and
practitioners can sit next to each other, in Addis Ababa, and share
ideas.
However, to accommodate the presenters and participants who are unable
to attend the conference in person, we will provide an online
presentation platform for them. We hope that most of the participants
will make it to Addis Ababa.
Therefore, to indicate your preference for the remote format, please
fill out the presentation format field in the submission form.
