Traveling to the US

For information on the current legal requirements for travel to the US, please see the US State Department’s visa homepage. Generally, a B-1 business visit visa will be needed for those participating in ISAGA 2010 unless you are coming from Canada, Mexico, or Bermuda or a country participating in the Visa Waiver program.

Fees

*To resolve the technical issue causing registration problems, it became necessary to convert the fee structure from the Euro to the US Dollar. The conversion was done using the closing bank exchange rate of €1 = USD1.38 posted on finance.yahoo.com on March 12, 2010.  The conference fees were then fixed at the USD values listed below.
