It contains information on: * Registration * Venue and Accommodation * Registration Fee * Preliminary Program of Invited Speakers --------------- Registration --------------- You can register at the web page (http://www.inaoep.mx/~agn2003). If you have already pre-registered you only need to fill the missing fields in order to complete your registration. ******* Registration deadline is OCTOBER 12 ******** We strongly advise you to submit an abstract of your contribution if you have not done so. The SOC will select the oral contributions on the basis of the abstracts. --------------------- Venue & Accommodation --------------------- The conference will be held in Cozumel, the largest, and one of the most beautiful, islands in the Mexican Caribbean. Cozumel is located just 12 miles off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula and it is well known for the breathtaking beauty of its underwater coral reefs. It is reputed to be one of the world's best places for diving and snorkeling. Cozumel has an international airport, where flights from several North American and European cities arrive. If these flights do not suit you, Cancun International airport covers a wide variety of destinations. For instructions on how to get to Cozumel and local information, please check our web page http://www.inaoep.mx/~agn2003 The venue for the Symposium will be the Park Royal Hotel, a resort located just across the beach, in the southern part of the island. Registration, welcoming reception, closing banquet, and all scientific sessions will be held at the Park Royal. We have arranged very attractive rates for the event. This resort operates under an "all inclusive" plan, which includes 3 daily meals. Cocktails, beer, and other beverages, as well as snacks, are available anytime -from 11 am till the midnight. All taxes and tips are also included. Park Royal Cozumel is already open for reservations. We strongly suggest to make your reservation as soon as possible, space is limited (we have blocked 100 rooms) and will be confirmed on a "first come, first serve" basis. YOU HAVE TO RESERVE DIRECTLY WITH THE HOTEL. ******* HOTEL REGISTRATION DEADLINE is also OCTOBER 12 ******** Mention the AGN Conference in order to get the following prices (all inclusive): Single room: 110 $ /day Double room: 65 $ /day/person Triple room: 55 $ /day/person PLEASE visit the hotel web page at http://www.parkroyalhotels.com.mx/cozumel/index.html or check the link on the conference web page and follow the instructions to make your reservation. If you would like to share a double/triple room with another conference participant, please provide his/her name, if not, hotel will assign rooms accordingly to the reception of reservations and compatibility of arrival/departure dates. We are currently looking for a second backup Hotel for participants exceeding the available rooms at Park Royal Hotel. We will post the info on the web page as soon as we have it. ---------------- Registration Fee ---------------- The conference registration fee is 250 US$ payable in CASH ONLY at the registration desk.
