Virtual Conference: Notes to Participants
We are pleased to let you know that about 100 authors will participate in the virtual conference. The papers will be grouped into 10 sessions. Each session will have a chairperson to facilitate the discussions and a coordinator from NUS to manage the discussion forums.
We appreciate your interest and participation in this new endeavor for sharing your research and getting connected with the Asian real estate research community. We are glad to say that the virtual conference platform (ICE, for Integrated Conference Environment) provided by NUS is capable of helping us to achieve our goals. ICE is designed to enable the participants to actively interact: to make their research understood and to seek understanding of others’ research, to comment and to seek comments, to question and to answer. In many ways, the information technology we have now relaxes the constraints of space and time that limit the interactions in a physical conference. Let’s take the advantage of the new technology to interact more productively.
We would like to request that you provide us (email to: rstbox1@nus.edu.sg) with the following documents by July 7:
1) The completed conference paper (preferably in Word or pdf format).
The
paper will be uploaded for online viewing and for downloading.
2) A PowerPoint presentation document to be incorporated in the
multimedia
presentation of ICE. Your presentation will help other
participants
to understand the gist of your paper quickly so as to make
the discussion
forums more productive. We would encourage you to
make hyperlinks
to websites in your presentation.
In addition, please be ready to support the session chairs when they ask you to discuss papers. The session coordinators are there always to help you make full use the virtual conference facilities.
We look forward to receiving the complete paper and your the presentation document. We are committed to making this virtual conference as productive and beneficial to you as possible.
