Conference news

Thanks to your comments and observations, we have been able to 'fine-tune' a few organisational aspects of the conference. In particular:

1) The addition of a 'accompanying fee': as many participants will be accompanied by partners and family, we have arranged a sort of 'registration fee' for them, too. This offers all the same benefits - special prices and discounts on meals, entertainment, travel and accomodation - as those given to conference participants, with the exception of attending the actual conference itself and the welcome cocktail. It is not obligatory to pay the 'accompanying fee', but if you choose not to, prices for these things must be paid in full.

2) Bank charges: the conference fee must be paid in full - participants must make sure they cover any bank transfer charges.

3) Conference timing: in order to facilitate the organisation of the conference programme, we would like to stipulate that there will be only two types of seminars: Lectures - which will last 45 minutes; and Practical Workshops - which will last 90 minutes. We would appreciate it if participants interested in sending in contributions could take this timing into consideration when preparing their material.

4) Conference flyer: we now have an official flyer for the conference! This can be downloaded and printed from the 'Programme' page on the conference web site. (404 KB in PDF format).

Finally, we would like to remind you that in order to take advantage of the special accomodation offers, it is necessary to have received confirmation of your registration (and payment) for the conference first.
