National Conference on Communication

Dear Dr Kurniadi,

    We are organizing The National Conference on Modern Communication. It is scheduled for 23 to 25 April 2017 in Cendrawasih Hotel. The conference will mainly discuss new communications systems and how they will transform society. All universities, majoring in communication technology, are invited. This conference will also be attended by Mr Hamada from the University of Kyoto. He has designed new communications systems in Japan.

    The conference will be inaugurated by our Minister of Telecommunication and the Chief of the Bureau of Science And Research (LIPI) is due to deliver the closing ceremony.

    We would like you to deliver your presentation on the topic. Please send us the abstract of your presentation before 20 November 2017. We believe that your contribution to this subject is very valuable.

    We look forward to receiving your confirmation. Kindly send RSVP by 15 November 2017 to the Conference Secretary, Ms Maria Sanusi, at [email protected]

Yours sincerely,
