It also includes all coffee breaks and a fully catered boat cruise. The closing banquet and the optional post-conference tour are subject to an additional charge.

The Registration Process and Payment for Registration
• At the bottom of this page, you will find an online registration form (NO LONGER ACTIVE). Please complete it according to the instructions provided, stating your preferences regarding accommodation. After the data has been transferred, you will receive an automatic confirmation of the fact.
• The conference agency – Congress Business Travel, Ltd. (CBT) – will get back to you within seven working days by e-mail with a finalised order which you will be asked to confirm.
• Payment will be accepted by credit card or international bank transfer.
• Your registration will be processed when your payment has been approved. You will then receive an e-mail confirming your registration.

Paying by Credit Card
• All major credit cards will be accepted. When opening the registration form, you will enter a safe mode which minimises the risk of the misuse of data. However, delegates should note that they use this registration method at their own risk. IASIL, the organisers of the 2005 IASIL Conference, and the CBT agency cannot accept responsibility for any difficulties arising from your use of this method. Alternately, you may choose to send your credit card details to the CBT agency by fax (+420 224 942 550), stating this in the “Additional Information” box of the registration form.
• If you are paying by credit card, a fee of 2.9% (or 3.5% for American Express) will be applied automatically to your payment. This will be added to your total when we receive your form. These fees are used to cover the administration process; IASIL, the 2005 IASIL Conference Organisers, and the CBT agency will not receive any part whatsoever of this administration fee.
• If you enter an incorrect credit card number, or if your credit card is not authorised for some other reason, the registration process will be cancelled automatically.

Payment by Bank Transfer
• If you wish to pay by International Bank Transfer, please transfer the money in euros or Czech crowns (CZK) to the following account:
Account name: Congress Business Travel, Ltd.

Receipts
• Receipts will be issued to all delegates during the conference.

Verification of your Registration
• An e-mail verification will be sent to you to confirm your registration order. Please do not assume that your registration has been processed until you receive official confirmation from the CBT Agency or the IASIL 2005 Organising Committee. Evidence that your payment was processed by your credit card company should not be regarded as confirmation of registration. Automated e-mail messages confirming delivery do not constitute evidence of receipt.

Registration Period
• Registration commences on 1 March and closes on 31 May. Proof of payment must be received on or before 15 June.
