Smart Multimedia is a focused forum to promote the exchange of the latest advances in multimedia technologies, systems, and applications from the research, development and industrial perspectives. In addition to an in-person meeting, considering pandemic travel restrictions we will allow some virtual presentations and participation. Virtual attendees will receive a discount on the registration rates. If you need an invitation letter for Visa, please send email to webmaster@smartmultimedia.org.
