Important Information:

Please note that in Brazil, lists are organized alphabetically by first name (given name), unlike some countries where the last name (surname) comes first. This will help streamline the registration process on the first day and make it easier to check participants when boarding the shuttle to ensure no one is left behind.

Therefore, we kindly ask all speakers and participants to inform us at which hotel they intend to board the shuttle (Miramar, Pestana, or Novotel), so that we can prepare the boarding lists accordingly.

We appreciate your cooperation!

If you have any questions or require further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Secretary of Conference
