Kindly make travel and lodging arrangements at the earliest to avoid the last minute rush.
I. Presenters of all papers are entitled to receive an IAC @ WLF certificate. Certificates of presentation will be issued at the conference itself.
J. Upon your submission of the final paper, post conference, the papers would go for peer review and the ones selected through this process would get published. Presentation of a paper at the conference is not a guarantee that it would in itself lead to the publication; the decision of publication of a paper lies with the subject area experts who decide if a given paper in its final submitted stage meets a certain quality. We are yet to make a decision if the publication would be online or in print. The decision would be made after the peer review.
K. There is no requirement from the academic conference presenters to take the delegate pass of the WLF. All sections of the litfest festival are free to attend for the IAC presenters. The IAC will be offering an “IAC Presenter” pass, a tote bag, notebook etc. for those who have registered for the academic conference, irrespective of the category.
