Special Note for Indian Delegates Registering On-line

On-line registration takes place on a secure international e-commerce platform. Indian delegates registering on-line will need to pay in US dollars. Their credit card will be charged in Indian Rupees based on the prevailing US Dollar-Indian Rupee exchange rate as on the day of registration. This amount may vary from the fixed off-line registration fee. Your bank may also add a small conversion fee or service charge as is their standard practice, and this may show up in your credit card statement. Please check with your bank for details.

Use the following link to find out the current exchange rate.
