Presentation Format
Oral presentations: Each oral presentation is allotted 20 min including a 5 min Q&A session. You may use your own laptop for the presentation. Both HDMI and VGA cables will be available.
Conference Program
The detailed program is available at the FSR2019 Program website.
Coffee breaks will be held in the morning and afternoon. Lunch will be provided on the first and second days of the conference (August 29th and 30th). On the first day, a light, informal dinner will be held on-site at the conference venue. On the second day, a banquet dinner will be held on a traditional Japanese boat cruise. The conference will conclude with a farewell dinner on the final day.
The overview of the schedule is shown below.
