Please don't come to the registration counter on August 17 before 14:00; we will work "just in time"; the proceedings volumes and many other items are delivered Monday morning and we will be busy packing and setting up the counters.

In general, we recommend that you bring along the registration documents you received from DER CONGRESS so that possible inconsistencies can be settled immediately. Please contact the booths according to the following guidelines:

Everything Paid
Every participant who has paid (or overpaid) his/her fees should go to the booth of "Registered Participants Check In - settled accounts".

Late Payment
If the payment was done during the last days it may not have reached DER CONGRESS yet. Therefore, please bring along the corresponding documents and contact the counter "Registered Participants - unsettled accounts".

Something Not Yet Paid/Clarification Necessary
If some payment still has to be made or if some clarification is necessary your first contact should be the counter "Registered Participants - unsettled accounts".

Not Registered Yet
Participants who have not registered or did not receive any response from DER CONGRESS are kindly requested to start the registration procedure at the counter "New Registration".

If you need accommodation please contact the booth "Hotel / Private Accommodation".

DER CONGRESS operates counters 1 through 5. At these counters you may pay in cash or by the following credit cards: VISA, Eurocard, Mastercard, Diners Club. The only currency accepted is DM.

Souvenirs/Proceedings Special Sale/Urania Tickets
At counter 6 you can buy the ICM'98 souvenirs, , see ICM98-CL32, the ICM'98 proceedings at the special Congress price, see ICM98-CL33, and you can get tickets for the evening talks and the VideoMath performances at URANIA, see ICM98-CL26. This counter is only prepared for payment in cash.

Footloose Tours
Here you may register for one or more of the footloose tours, if they are still available. The daily footloose program will be on display at this counter.This counter also provides some touristic information. In particular, accompanying persons might want to meet people with similar interests here and make appointments.

Congress Bag / Congress Proceedings
At this counter you will receive the congress bag and, except in case of student registrations, the congress proceedings volumes II and III in exchange for the vouchers that you obtain at registration (coutners 1 - 3). This counter is in the entrance hall of the TU Main Building (ground floor).

At registration, participants will receive their badges, congress documents (the final program, the two abstracts books, volumes II and III of the ICM'98 proceedings, the Berlin Intelligencer, a writing pad, the public transportation ticket, a subway and S-Bahn map, etc.) and the vouchers for all events they have booked. Registration material will not be handed out unless all financial matters are settled.

Participants receiving Financial Support

All participants receiving financial support from the ICM'98 organization are requested to go first to the Financial Support Office (at room H 2037) and not to the registration counter.

Information Counter at ICC

On August 18, the opening day, the congress organization operates an additional information counter at the International Congress Center. This counter is open from 9:00 to 18:00. This is nothing but an information counter, you cannot register and you cannot receive your personal congress documents at this location.

List of Participants/Address Correction

We will not distribute a printed participants list with the congress bags. A complete list of participants will be included in the proceedings volume I which will be shipped to your home address after the ICM'98 congress.

We believe that it is more helpful to maintain an up-to-date version in the ICM'98 server, that is, e.g., accessible at the Computer Lab in room MA 241 where you will have access to e-mail, the World Wide Web, etc. We do, however, ask every participant to check his/her mailing address carefully and report corrections on an Address Correction Form available at the conference office H 2036 where a printed list of participants is kept for corrections.

Message Board

There will be a message/mail board at the conference office H 2036 where messages to ICM'98 participants can be posted. Messages to participants can be sent by mail, see address in appendix, or faxed to +49/30/314-25300. They will be posted soon after arrival.

For urgent messages to a participant, the phone numbers 

       +49/30/314-23400

  and  +49/30/314-22800
can be called. Only simple messages will be accepted to avoid mistakes. They will be posted at the message board.
