"Last year, the flyer for ICME 2025 arrived by mail, and it turned out to be a truly rewarding experience. Presenting at ICME 2025 was both enriching and inspiring. The conference was exceptionally well organized, and the insightful comments and constructive feedback from the panel chair and members greatly helped in strengthening the research. Looking forward to presenting research again at ICME this year. Congratulations to the entire ICME team for creating and sustaining such a valuable academic platform."
