All non-Bangalore participants (Speakers, Session Chairs, and others) will be provided accommodation (at no additional cost to the participant) by the Organizers of the MD@60 Conference.  

We have learnt that some persons/entities are sending emails to non-Bangalore participants offering their services to provide accommodation. We request you not to fall for their bait.

UPDATE on February 23, 2024:

1. On February 22, 2024, we have sent emails mentioning the place of accommodation to each participant. In case you have not received the email, check your SPAM/JUNK folder. If it is not there still, send an email with your name to mdat60_AT_jncasrDOT.acDOTin

2. The list of Posters to be displayed and presented on February 26, 2024 (Monday) has been put up. If your poster presentation is scheduled for that day, bring that poster along with you & put it up during the Breakfast session

3. In case you are arriving in Bangalore on February 24th itself, you can inform the Front Desk (Indian Academy of Sciences Scholars Residency) at the place of your accommodation (Phone numbers given below). For participants staying in I-House/Hotels_arranged_by_us, there is no need to inform the Hotel a priori if you are arriving on Feb 24, provided you have informed us through the online form of your itinerary.

4. In case you are leaving a day later (March 1), and thus require the room for an additional night (February 29), inform the Front Desk about the same, as you check-in. The Conference will bear the costs for the additional night. 

5. The Conference bears only the cost of the room. All additional expenses (food, if any), are to be borne by the Guests.
