Participants are asked to pay a contribution towards the expenses of the meeting.
The fee is:
US$100 for those from low- and middle-income countries

This fee covers all meeting activities including:
full documentation
working lunches, contact breaks, the opening reception and any other refreshments or entertainment offered as part of the official programme
transport between the airport and Forum 8 hotels on arrival/departure.
Participants are separately responsible for the cost of their travel and accommodation.
The Global Forum will confirm registrations from June 2004 onwards.
Registered participants will then receive:
a confirmation letter for use in visa applications, in requests for funding or leave of absence
information on visa applications
details on the programme and speakers for Forum 8
a registration form for the Marketplace.
Between June and November, additional information on programme content, confirmed speakers and logistics will be posted on our website. Participants are invited to bookmark the site for regular visits.
Participants are advised to register early as demand for participation is expected to be high.
Cancellation policy: Replacements from the same organization may be proposed to the Global Forum at any time.
For cancellations notified before 15 October 2004, the fee will be reimbursed (minus a US $50 administration charge).
No refunds are possible after 15 October.
