IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PAYMENT OF XIIIth CONGRESS REGISTRATION FEES

We have already received a large number of registrations (600 as of June 1). Nevertheless, we realize that for some potential participants the recent political events in Argentina could give an impression of uncertainty. Even though we do not have control over the political events, we feel that the situation is becoming normalized and we expect improvements in the coming months. In addition, as we've announced before, all the issues concerning the organization of the Congress are progressing quite well and the major costs of the Congress have been covered. However, the processing of the registration fees has been compounded by the needs of Argentine banks to convert their dollar accounts into pesos.

In order to provide more guarantees for the payments, the Local Organizing Committee of the XIIIth Congress has decided to offer two different options for paying the registration fees:

1. The Local Organizing Committee of the Congress has asked EH.Net to take over accepting credit card payments in US dollars and to hold them in their bank account until 15 May. EH.Net offers an online registration form on the this webpage that allows you to fill out your registration and to pay by credit card all online until 16 July. After this date you will be able to register on location at the Hilton Hotel, Buenos Aires.

2. The registration payments can take place by transferring the amount to the Treasurer of the IEHA, account no. 279-CO157299.0 of UBS SA, The Swiss Bank Corporation, 2, rue de la Confederation, CH-1211 Geneve 2, Case Postale 2770, Switzerland (The bank's Swift-address is UBSWCHZH12B). Bank charges can be deducted from the registration fee.

Legally, the recipient of the funds will be the Local Organizing Committee. EH. Net will be just an intermediary. With the authorization of the President and the Secretary General or the Treasurer, the funds will be transferred to the Local Organizing Committee and EH.Net will not be liable for them.
