WiFi Accounts:

In order for any attendee to have WiFi access at the conference center (Riva del Garda Congress Center), the attendee must provide Name and Passport Number. This is required by the Italian Law. The Congress Center staff must gather this information and be ready to produce it in the case of governmental formal inspections. On the registration form, there is space for providing the Passport Number. This information will be provided to Riva del Garda Congress to set up individual access accounts before the conference date. The account information will be provided at check-in to attendees who elected to provide their Passport Numbers. In order to speed up the check-in process, we strongly recommend you to provide this information on the registration form while registering for the conference. The transfer of this information is absolutely safe as the registration site is a secure (https) website. After the end of the conference all this information will be deleted by the organizing committee. Request for WiFi access at check-in time will delay your check-in process.


Printed Proceedings:

In an effort to keep registration rates at minimum, registrants are given the option to select 0, 1, or 2 volumes of the printed proceedings. The conference tracks are categorized into five Themes and the printed proceedings are divided into two volumes. Each volume represents certain themes, and each theme includes a number of related tracks. Before you start your online registration (URL to registration site is provided toward the bottom of this page), please review the content of each volume (its themes and tracks below) and decide which volume(s) (if any) you would like to receive at check-in. Registrations rates are adjusted for these options. Limited number of copies are printed based on ordered volumes. Every registered attendee gets the CD, which contains the complete proceedings.
