Note on booking for ICWES15.
I hope to see as many WES members as possible at ICWES15 in Adelaide, Australia in July. I think it will be a very successful Conference. I have just noted below the ways in which you will pay the lowest fee.
If you want to book for ICWES15, if you do so before May, you will only pay the lower registration fee (see the website for actual dates).
As a member of WES you are also a member of INWES and so will get a reduced rate. On the on-line Registration you will be asked if you are a member of any of several organisations, of which INWES is one, and to give your membership number. INWES does not have any membership numbers, and so you can put any number in that space.
Best wishes, and hope to see you in Adelaide.
