The LabPhon 19 hosting institute, HIPCS, will offer a special discounted rate for students by subsidizing $30 of the banquet ticket cost for each student. To qualify, students must register for the main conference by the Late Registration deadline, though an even more discounted rate is available for Early Registration.
Please take advantage of the reduced registration fees by registering early by April 30 (Early Registration). If you miss this deadline, consider the Late Registration by May 20, 2024, which still offers fees lower than onsite registration. We have made every effort to keep the registration fees as low as possible. However, a slight increase in fees was unfortunately unavoidable, given the high inflation since then. Nevertheless, we hope that the fees remain accessible to as many prospective participants as possible.
The LabPhon 19 program is now live on the LabPhon 19 official website. The caliber of papers set to be presented is nothing short of remarkable, spanning a diverse range of captivating topics and inquiries across various sub-disciplines within LabPhon, with many of them in alignment with the theme of LabPhon 19. The program includes 5 invited talks and 5 discussant commentaries across five thematic sessions, each complemented by 2 regular talks.
The Association would like to announce that decisions on LabPhon 19 submissions have been sent out.
The Association is pleased to announce call for papers to three LabPhon 19 workshops, to be held on Wednesday, June 26, 2024.
