Presentation Guide
MRM2021 will take place as a face-to-face meeting, and all events will be held at the venue in Yokohama. Oral presentation will be organized in the Hybrid system. Therefore, authors who will deliver an oral presentation will be asked to deliver in-person presentations of the work if you can travel to the venue. Otherwise, authors can present online if they cannot travel in December due to COVID-19
On the other hand, poster presentations will be organized in both in-person and online systems. Authors who can come to the venue will be asked to deliver in-person presentations of the work at the in-person poster slot. If authors cannot travel to the venue, they can present online at a different slot from the in-person poster presentation. The in-person poster presenters are also required to make online poster presentations in accordance with the principles of this conference. This means that all meeting attendees can hear all presentations online only.
