<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">If accepted to the SATW track, registration will be free. In addition, accepted applicants will be able to remotely present their research in one of the SATW sessions and attend
other sessions in the same track virtually. Presentations will be given in a synchronous hybrid fashion, with live audience participation from in-person attendees of the conference.<o:p></o:p></p>
