Hi, folks.

I am either missing something or about to hit a stone cold funding block. The
World Congress of Bioethics registration options do not include one for FAB
only. It is also unclear whether World Congress of Bioethics registration fee
includes FAB. And the early-bird registration fee is US$700.

In addition, there is no code for any kind of special rate or room block at the
conference hotel as far as I can discern.

Thus, it looks like attending FAB will cost me the full World Congress $700
registration, a little over $150 per night at 2-3 nights, meals, and
indeterminate airfare. Am I understanding the Registration fee and lack of
rates/block correctly?

I do see that I can register for just one day at $215/day. However, I cannot do
so for two, and I especially cannot do so for either of FAB's 2 days, June 23
and 24. Those are not listed as options (only the 25th, 26th, and 27th of the
full World Congress).

I suspect I am not the only one with this concern. Would the organizing
committee be so kind as to clarify how we are to register for FAB, and the
cost, as well as the issue of room rates and block codes at the conference
hotel?

Best,
 Alison
