Our registration policy is the following.
- Every participant of any BICA 2019 event must be registered. One-day or partial registration is not an option, with one exception: we do allow workshop-only registrations for a very affordable price made possible by the sponsors, please see above.
- All Workshop-Only Registrants and Regular Registrants are entitled to submit slides and (optionally) an associated paper for a Workshop Lightning Presentation. Submission should be made to one of the two tracks: "Future of AI Workshop – Industry" (chaired by David Kelley) or "Future of AI Workshop – BICA Lighting Rounds" (chaired by Alexei Samsonovich). Both tracks are expected to be highly competitive. If accepted, the paper can be presented as a Workshop Lightning talk and, optionally, published in the appropriate venue, provided the registration is paid. For Regular Registrants, these Workshop Lightning presentation and publication are complimentary and can be made at no extra charge in addition to their Main-Session BICA 2019 presentation and publication. For Workshop-Only Registrants, this is the only presentation and/or publication option. Papers not accepted to the Future of AI Workshop may be redirected by PC to the BICA 2019 Track (and in this case will require a different kind of registration).
- In general, each instance of a BICA 2019 presentation+publication, presentation-only, or publication-only, should be covered by a separate valid registration (which is not a Guest registration), with one exception: Regular Registered Participants are allowed up to two presentations-publications: one in a Main Session of BICA 2019, and one in the Future of AI Workshop. Please use the right track for each submission. The range of available publication venues is the same for both. Please be aware that the number of slots in the Workshop Lightning Session is limited.
- Refunds are not provided, regardless of circumstances. Registration payments made in a wrong category will be considered not valid.
- All payments must be made through this BICA Society website using a major credit card (acceptable cards are shown on the right).
