Registration Guidelines

We appreciate your interest in our conference and have prepared guidelines to assist with the registration process.

Who should register?

Each person who intends to attend the conference must register for the event. This applies to general delegates and researchers who will be making presentations. In cases where there are multiple authors for a single paper, at least one (1) of the authors is expected to present at the conference. If more than one author intends to attend, each author must register separately. Persons who will be exhibiting at the event will have to register at the rate stated in the table below.

What is the registration process?

Registration should be done via the conference website. Please click on the Registration link. You will be guided to a form which must be filled out.
