Please find all the relevant information regarding the event at: http://internationalcleantechnetwork.com/meeting/icn-annual-meeting-16-19-may-2016

Here are some additional detailed information:

 AUW fee

The AUW fee has now been settled to be 592€ per person (ICN discount of 33%) allowing all participants to join the presentations, panel debates and networking events during the event. The fee applies to ICN Board of directors as well as member of the ICN business delegations. It is possible to visit the exhibition free of charge, but there will then be no access to the presentations at the conference and some of the networking events at the site.

 Travelling and Accommodation

Participants are responsible for travelling and accommodation arrangements. All participants are urged to book flights and hotels as soon as possible, since there can be a limited amount of these available during the period of the conference. All AUW participants can benefit from a discount of 10% when travelling with Emirates Airlines. Please use the links provided on the Annual Meeting site.

2)  For getting full access to the AUW conference with the ICN-discount, please fill out the attached PDF-file on the webpage in writing and send it in scanned version to me on frederik@internationalcleantechnetwork.com. Once these are collected, they will be forwarded to the AUW organisers in order to validate the discount.
