Despite the room AV is not functional, CPT’s first panel chair @dhutchman.bsky.social gracefully moderated it and we upheld the #iamcr2025 participatory ethics as much as we can! Watch out that room 53 in Hive may not be functional till later. Ask the helpful volunteers for direction!

I am so glad to know that our IAMCR Media Education Research community likes to know more about my Asian communication research. I will talk about Wanghong, Liziqi, MCNs and how all of these are Asian and Global at the same time. See you at IAMCR Singapore! #iamcr2025

3. Dressing - It could be very hot and humid outdoors while pretty cold indoors. So dress for a hot summer in general. But bring jackets and shawls for indoor air conditioning.

Look forward to seeing my friends in Singapore!

2. Payment - most of supermarkets, restaurants, shopping malls accept credit cards and Apple/Google Pay. But at the hawker centers (local eateries) and canteens, mobile pay may only accept paylah or paynow, which have to link to local banks. Get some cash.

Tips for #IAMCR2025 Singapore @iamcr.org

My friend @andreamedrado.bsky.social asked these great questions and I thought some of you would like to know.
1. Transport - Taxi app here is called Grab. U can use any credit cards that have a tap function to take bus and subway/mrt.

Highly recommend using DEN Reserve for security check in at Denver International Airport. You will get a QR code after registration. The normal line can be very long while this one takes 7-15 minutes (according to security). #ica25 see you next time Denver!

Just came through Denver immigration. Super smooth. They know about the conference. I was sent to a counter that seems to handle conference attendees. No questions asked! Thanks @icahdq.bsky.social @thanitzsch.bsky.social for the efforts to make our travel easier. ❤️jet-legged eyes half open.
