A detailed program, hotel reservation formula, accreditation formula and inscription formula for the congress program will be forwarded directly to you by our hosts from Québec.

Please note, that you should arrive on Wednesday, 22 May, in the evening. Your hotel room will be offered to you for a price of extra 105 Canadian dollars.

Please return the "inscription formula" as soon as possible to our Canadian friends.
