By now your organization should have received an email directly from Joseph van Veen at CATIE with registration information about the PAN/CATIE conference in October. The contents of that email follow my brief email.
You probably noticed that to register your two official PAN delegates that you need a special ID number to complete the online registration. The online registration system that’s being used is different from the system that PAN uses. To complete your registration you will need an ID code. If you did not receive the email from Joseph van Veen please let me know so that an email can be re-sent with the ID codes.
We encourage you to register your delegates as soon as possible. We are still in the process of finalizing the programme but the general schedule of events is as follows:
