Registration

If you are planning to attend the Conference, please register. By registering now, you help the organisers prepare for your arrival and tailor the Conference to your needs and expectations. They can also organise hotel accomodation for you, and book you a space on one of the optional free tourist trips.

Registration is free, but we will be happy to accept donations to the OpenOffice.org project on your arrival in Beijing. On arrival at the Conference, please go to the welcome desk to collect your conference material including maps, programmes, etc.

To register, you will need to tell us your name and email address. Optionally, you may tell us your Job Title/Organisation (for your badge), which Conference themes you are most likely to attend, and whether you would like to book on any of the optional free tourist trips.

If you want us to try and book your hotel accomodation, you also need to tell us your arrival and departure dates, and the maximum price per night in Euro you would like to pay. We also need to know your nationality and country of residence.

If you have this information ready and would like to register now, please go to the OOoCon Registration site
