Yes. We are expecting to have 1 person from France, 1

person from Singapore, and 2 from England. Also, there
will be 3 Japanese researchers and we need 1 person as a
host.
So that will be 8 in total. What will the whole
conference be like?
I think it will be from around 100 to 200 people.
Can you tell me more details regarding the number of
participants? This is because the number of headphones for
the audience that we have to prepare will be different.
Yes, of course.
