I'm not that interested in submitting this year as I was last year.

How come?

It takes time, energy and money to go about the visa process. Especially for the money, for some I got accepted to speak at, I had to travel to another city and also pay the visa fees. At the end, visa not granted. I basically, don't have any budget for such expenses atm. For now, I'm putting those resources on my side projects.

I feel your pain. When I worked in Epidemiological Modeling, we held symposiums in the Seattle area. It was very difficult for people from abroad to come to the U.S.

I think you're going to have to create a conference in Nigeria and invite everyone to come speak ;).

This is a great idea. Inviting everyone to come speak here in Nigeria. Would be awesome. Thank you :)
