POSTPONEMENT OF AMIC 23RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN BANGKOK
Dear AMIC Members and Conference Participants:
Given the extraordinarily difficult and uncertain situation in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, the Board of Directors of AMIC has decided today to postpone the AMIC annual Conference scheduled for July 9-12, 2014 in Bangkok.
The Board deeply regrets the disruption and the inconvenience this change of plans might cause. It was an extremely difficult decision to make as the local organisers had put in much effort to raise sponsorship, invite a Cabinet member as a keynote speaker, and make other arrangements for us to enjoy their Thai hospitality.
But after consultation with our Thai Board Member and other relevant authorities, the Board had to conclude that in the interests of conference participants’ safety and security, the event must be postponed.
The Board has started exploring other dates and, if necessary, other venues to hold the conference later this year. If nothing suitable emerges by July, the Board may cancel this year’s conference and proceed with next year’s conference.
The AMIC Board and Secretariat seek your understanding and patience. We will contact you as soon as new decisions are made.
Apr 10, 2014 | Annual Conference
We received a last-minute rush of abstracts, papers and panel proposals prior to the closing date for the Call for Papers. However, several potential presenters have asked if we can extend the deadline for them to complete their documentation. To enable those conference delegates, and others, to submit their abstracts and papers to AMIC, we have extended the deadline by two weeks to the 21st April, 2014. Please send your submission to us as soon as possible at conference@amic.org.sg Abstracts already received are now being peer-reviewed and presenters will be advised of the outcomes of the selection process shortly.

Preparations for AMIC’s 2014 conference in Bangkok (9th-12th July) have taken a significant step forward with the naming of the Chaophya Park Hotel as the venue for the prestigious annual event.
The Chaophya Park Hotel is located in Ratchadapisek, close to major shopping complexes and entertainment centres. It boasts a range of restaurants, conference rooms and a major ballroom. The hotel is easily accessible through the newly opened subway system, which is also linked with Bangkok’s Sky Train. The nearest MRT station, Rachdapisek, is only a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The city’s two major airports are also readily reachable by taxi or train. http://www.chaophyapark.com
Hotel room bookings at the special AMIC conference rate will be open shortly and an exclusive AMIC conference accommodation booking code will soon be made available.
In addition to the Chaophya Park Hotel, several other budget hotels close to the main venue will also be available for AMIC conference attendees. Details of these hotels will also be provided shortly.
AMIC Secretary-General, Martin Hadlow, thanked the conference hosts, Chulalongkorn University, for choosing such an excellent venue for the AMIC 2014 event. He also called on prospective delegates considering attending AMIC 2014 to get their abstracts to the AMIC Secretariat as soon as possible. “The clock is ticking” he said, “and we look forward to receiving a flood of abstracts and paper proposals before the 4th April deadline.”
This year’s conference theme is Communicating in an e-Asia: values, technologies and challenges. The Call for Papers is available at www.amic.org.sg.
