Country Contact Groups

The main duties of the contact groups are to help disseminate information about the conference through local networks; to help the conference organising committee reply to inquiries that require local knowledge and expertise; and to provide advice on ways to make the conference as relevant and productive as possible for people across the region. In cases where there are sufficient local skills and resources, contact groups may wish to take on additional duties, such as helping with translation either before or during the conference.

Please feel free to contact the members of the contact groups directly for advice and assistance about the local organisation of the conference in your country or region.
