Registration

The conference fee includes daily morning and afternoon teas, buffet lunch, conference dinner, conference kits including the conference proceedings, and the attending of conference. We generally expect you to stay in the conference hotel. However, if this is not possible, due to the shortage of rooms or other special reasons, a second hotel will be arranged. In that case, we will provide free bus service to bring you from this hotel to the conference hotel and back every day during the conference.

The conference fee does not cover the international telephone calls, use of computer, hotel charges and travel from Changi International Air-port to conference site. We also do not cover the preparation of OHP slides. Please prepare them before coming to Singapore. We provide computer projects for power point slide shows but without the computer. Please bring your own notebook to be connected to the project. The power supply in Singapore is 230V. We are using 3-pins square plugs. Bring an universal plug converter if your plug is of different sizes. We also highly recommend that all foreign participants obtain their own medical insurance before coming to Singapore.

The status of registration (early bird, regular and work-in) depends on WHEN you make the payment. If you registered as an early bird but only pay on the first day of the meeting, it is considered to be WORK-IN and you have to pay work-in rate. If you register as an early-bird, you must pay within 10 days of your registration. Otherwise, you have to pay as regular or work-in. If you just register but do no pay, we consider your registration invalid. We will get anything prepared for you because we do not know if you will turn up.

Refund

In cases where you have made payment to the conference but unable to attend the conference because of expected events, you may ask for a full refund. We will subtract the amount with S$80 administrative and bank charges if it is one month before the conference. Only half of the amount you paid (minus S$80) will be refunded to you if it is 15 days before the conference. No refund will be possible if request comes within 15 days of the conference.
