Overview
The conference will bring together over 450 scientists and engineers from around the world who will attend 42 invited talks, 222 oral contributed talks, and 262 poster presentations. The GEC program includes four workshops on Monday, an opening reception on Monday evening, and a Thursday evening awards banquet. In addition, an industry exhibition will take place along the conference. The GEC prides itself in student attendance. The conference will present the "Student Award for Excellence" to the best student oral presentation, selected from a group of 4 finalists.
Conference language
The official language of the conference is English.
It will be used for all presentations and printed materials.
Session numbering scheme
Each session code consists of a letter and a number. The first letter indicates the number of that session in the program, e.g. A for 1, B for 2 etc. The second letter indicates the day of the week: M for Monday, T for Tuesday, W for Wednesday, R for Thursday, and F for Friday. The last number (1-4) is the index used to distinguish the concurrent sessions (see table below for room assignments). The plenary session on Wednesday will take place in the Auditorium Maximum (Audimax), and the poster sessions will be held in the Audimax (Foyer).
Session index --> Room
1 --> room 1
2 --> room 2a
3 --> room 2b
4 --> room 3
