Should there be a requirement for ground transport to the conference dinner, this hotel will be the pick up and drop off point. You can find more information about the hotels from the Practical Information page.

Scandic Grand Marina Hotel: Standard room rates are €115.00 per night single and €135.00 per night double.

To obtain these rates you should reserve on the Scandic website www.scandichotels.com using the booking code BARC220412. Please note, there is limited accommodation available at these rates. The rates are only guaranteed until 1 April 2012. After this date, reservations must be made directly with the hotel you wish to stay in at their prevailing rate.

Visa Applications: Visitors to Finland must hold a valid passport and may require a visa. We recommend that you check with your nearest Finnish Embassy. You may also find this page helpful. Please note that we are not able to arrange visas but, once you have completed registration and paid in full, we can provide a letter confirming that you have registered and paid to attend the conference. Please read our Visa Information page and then complete the Information Form.

How to pay
Fees are payable in advance. We accept payment by Visa, MasterCard (credit or debit). We do not accept AMEX, Diners or Maestro cards. You can also pay by GBP cheque/bank draft or by bank transfer. You need to register to obtain an invoice or pay by credit/debit card. The invoice will provide all the information you need to pay by bank transfer. Click the Register Here button at the top of this page to access our shop.

Payment deadlines
Earlybird fees must reach us no later than 13 February 20121.
To ensure publication of papers, author payments must reach us no later than 19 March 2012.
Other payments should reach us no later than 9 April 2012.
Registrations can still be made after this date, provided payment is received by credit/debit card at the time of booking.

Participants arriving at the conference without having pre-registered are welcome subject to availability. Payment will be required on arrival, and will be subject to a late registration surcharge of £100 on the relevant fee.

Changes and Amendments: Before finally submitting your registration, please check your order carefully as any changes we have to make after an invoice has been raised will be subject to an administration charge of £25 per change made. If you do notice that you have made a mistake please notify us by email so that we can help you before raising your invoice. All registration queries should be sent to Charl Walters.

Cancellations: Please refer to cancellation terms and conditions.

Earlybird condition: In order to obtain the Earlybird rate, we must be in receipt of your full conference registration fee by the published Earlybird date. Although we endeavour to notify paper acceptance before this date, external factors may prevent this. In the event of an author subsequently failing to have a paper accepted for the conference, a refund can be made (cancellation charges apply).

Note to Authors: In order to have your paper published in the conference proceedings the final date for receipt of authors’ payment is 19 March 2012. Due to the large number of papers expected for this conference, the committee prefers that an author presents only one paper. However, if multiple papers are accepted for publication and presentation, each paper requires a separate registration fee.
