<p class="MsoNormal">ACII is dedicated to inclusiveness and encourages the broadest possible international participation. We wish to reassure everyone that we are committed to providing a solution to any authors or attendees who are affected by US visa bans.
In particular, ACII 2017 will not be retracting papers for ‘no show’ if authors are unable to travel to the US for this reason. As the organizers of ACII, we are aware that the US conference location in 2017 may cause problems for prospective authors and attendees,
and are monitoring the situation. Please direct any questions or concerns to the ACII Visa Chair.<o:p></o:p></p>
