There is a transaction fee for wire transfer, should I pay more?

It is the responsibility of the registrant to bear the additional costs related to wire transfer.

Why isn't the system giving me the early registration fee?

The reason is that the deadline of early registration fee has passed.

I need a pro-forma invoice.

You need to write an email stating the name of the conference and the chosen registration package fee to registration@eai.eu.
Please note that for wire transfer payments, a proforma is automatically sent by the system in a few minutes after you click "I agree to pay via wire transfer".

I didn't fill in the correct address when paying, can you change?

You need to write a request to registration@eai.eu.

I am a student, should I pay full rate or student rate?

If you want your paper to be included in proceedings, you should register for the full conference. If one of your co-authors has already registered at the full rate, you may register at the student rate.

I have a problem when trying to pay by credit card.

Please check on which website the problem appears, if it is saferpay, then the problem does not come from our website. However here are some advices that can be helpful:

• the system needs a perfect match, even the title that precedes the name;
• a specific company card may have a withdrawal amount limit which is less than the registration fee.

Can I get my printed invoice during the conference?

Yes. You need to ask the conference coordinator on-site

When is the early registration for the conference?

You can see the early registration deadline on the second page of the registration website or on the conference website.

The early registration deadline is 23:59 PM, but it is already giving the late fee even though it has not yet passed.

Please take into account that the system is set on the Central European time, thus the deadline time is considered based on the Central European time.

Can my registration be transferred to my co-author?

Yes. You need to write a request to customer service at registration@eai.eu.

My paper has been accepted for the conference, how much do I need to pay in order for it to be included in the proceedings?

You or one of the co-authors of the paper needs to register at the full fee in order for the paper be included in the proceedings.

Do all of the co-authors need to pay in order for the paper to be published?

Full registration of one of the co-authors is enough for the paper to be published. However each person should register if he/she intends to attend the conference.

You can, but you need to use his/her credentials (login/password on the website).

I have a workshop paper. Should I register for workshop or the whole conference?

If you would like your paper to be included in the conference proceedings, you need to register at full rate.

I registered before the early deadline but the bank delayed the payment, will it still be with early fee?

If the registration on the website was before the early deadline, then the early fee will be considered.

How can I register for one more additional page

You need to select "Extra page upload" product on the registration website and purchase it.
