Venue & travel
University of Illinois Chicago, in the heart of a very accessible city
Chicago was presented in the slide deck as a strong host city because of its transport connections, walkability, public transit, and cultural draw. O'Hare is one of the best-connected airports in the U.S., and the CTA Blue Line provides direct service toward downtown and UIC.
Getting there
CTA Blue Line service connects O'Hare Airport, downtown Chicago, and the UIC area. This draft also includes a conference-to-IMS travel note from Chicago to San Antonio for participants attending both events.
May weather
The deck highlights Chicago in May as having very comfortable weather, making it a good fit for both conference days and informal city exploration.
Why Chicago
City atmosphere
The decks lean hard into Chicago’s skyline, architecture, museums, food, waterfront, and cultural variety. This section mirrors that visual rhythm from the reference sites while staying lightweight.

Submission
Call for papers
Authors are invited to submit three-page manuscripts in PDF format. All papers must be written in English and clearly describe the concept and results. Submitted papers will undergo peer review.
Manuscript format
Prepare a concise three-page paper in English that clearly presents the concept, methodology, and results.
Review and presentation
All submissions will be peer reviewed, and accepted papers are expected to be presented during the conference.
Publication path
Accepted and presented papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore®. A Best Student Paper award is planned, and expanded versions may be invited for an IEEE J-ERM special issue.

Registration and attendee actions
Registration
This can later be replaced by a WordPress form plugin, a conference management platform, or an external registration portal.
Visa letters / contact
Add a contact form or dedicated mailbox once the organizers finalize the operational flow.
QR code kept in place
The domain is not finalized yet, so the QR graphic stays as a visual placeholder and can later be swapped to the final destination.

Framework note
This theme is intentionally structured as a one-page launchable framework. It is complete enough to publish now, while leaving obvious slots for registration, hotel info, paper portal buttons, detailed technical program pages, and sponsor blocks later.
