How do I register?
Please follow the link "Register for ICTD2006" to register online.
Is this primarily a technical or a social science conference?
ICTD2006 is an inter-disciplinary conference which brings together researchers in both the social and technical sciences, with representation from anthropology, sociology, economics, political science, computer science, electrical engineering, industrial design, and information science.
What does conference registration include?
Standard Conference registration includes keynote addresses, presentation of papers and poster session, and conference proceedings. Also included is a dinner banquet on Thursday, May 25, continental breakfasts on Thursday, May 25 and Friday, May 26, refreshment breaks, and closing reception on Friday, May 26. Student registration doesn't include the dinner banquet on Thursday, May 25. Student conference attendees may register to attend the banquet for an additional $25. These options are available on our registration transaction page.
Pre-registration is required. Badges and conference materials will be distributed at the registration desk located outside the auditorium. The registration desk opens 30 minutes prior to the start of the program. Please arrive early and present photo identification to check-in. Students will be required to show current student identification if they have registered at the student rate.
Are there travel grants to visit the conference?
There are limited travel grants, and at this point these are reserved for a few of the people presenting papers at the conference. All accepted presenters need to speak to the organizers about possible grants; there are no guaranteed funds. If your paper has not been accepted through the peer review system, it is highly unlikely that there will be any available grants. For more information, you may contact us by email.
