FINAL PROGRAM
IAIA plans to have a PDF of the final program available on the website approximately one month prior to the conference, and it will be available in hard copy at conference check-in at the convention centre.
The preliminary program contains the tentative schedule and plans; be sure to check the final program to confirm details of activities in which you would like to participate. Please note registration deadlines for special events.
The final program will also be available in the IAIA22 mobile app, which delegates can use to search for sessions and speakers, select favorite sessions to create a personal agenda, take notes, and more. The virtual components of the program will be added to the Pathable virtual platform approximately two weeks prior to the conference.
PUBLICATIONS
IAIA plans to publish optional conference papers and PowerPoint slides online following the conference. A Program Committee representative will contact you with details upon acceptance of your paper or poster abstract.
Participants are encouraged to submit their papers for possible publication in IAIA's journal, Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal. See www.tandfonline.com/r/iapa for submission information.
PRESENTATION EQUIPMENT
PowerPoint projectors and laptop computers will be provided in each session room. Presenters are responsible for arranging and paying in advance for any other equipment needed for their presentations.

For on-site inquiries, payment will be required at time of request, and IAIA cannot guarantee that equipment will be available. If equipment is unavailable, payment will be refunded.
BUSINESS SERVICES
To avoid equipment rental costs which would necessarily be passed on to delegates in the form of higher registration fees, IAIA does not provide copying, printing, computers or other business services or equipment on-site. Please plan to arrive prepared, or contact your hotel in advance to ensure that it offers any facilities you may need.

MEALS
IAIA will provide lunches 4-7 May and coffee breaks 3-7 May at the convention centre.
Based on the data collected via registration forms, IAIA will estimate a percentage of vegetarian meals. This does not guarantee accommodation of individual preference.
