“Due to the Current spreading of COVID-19, Thailand Cyber University, the conference holder, and everyone involved with this event, are greatly concerned about hygiene and safety of the attendees. Thus, to reduce the potential risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 and prevent the spread of COVID-19 among staff and attendees, we have decided to change the way the conference is organized into a hybrid conference including an onsite (at MHESI) and an online via Online Webinar through network platform (Broadcast Live via Facebook and Zoom Video Meeting) to avoid face-to-face contact with others, according to "social distancing" or physical distancing campaign.”
