What is a virtual conference?

A virtual conference takes place entirely over the Internet. You attend from any web connection, interacting with uploaded material and submitting your comments from anywhere. The ICOME Virtual Forum is taking place during 1 week and is intended for those that cannot attend on site for any reason. 

What can I expect during web attendance to ICOME?

During each web access to the conference site, you will read articles, comment them and interact with our presenters and your colleagues. Each presentation includes opportunities to ask questions as submitted messages, get answers, share ideas and establish contacts with other participating colleagues.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a virtual conference?

• Advantages:

  • Attend from your desktop (no special software needed, no time away from the office!)

  • No passport required

  • Hold low-cost, long-distance get-togethers without leaving your university

  • As the conference is being organized online, delegates will save on travel time and all expenses related to conference meals, boarding and lodging – while still getting an opportunity to network with others, share their works and listen to others on a truly global scale.

  • Now many problems caused by the quality of the spoken English of non-native English speaker are avoided.

  • The problem of the time zones is avoided and you attend the forum from any point of the world and in any time from your laptop.

   

• Disadvantages? Let us know after the conference!
