There are different rates for the VSE 2019 Annual Conference: the early bird rate for those who register by the 1^st of April and the normal rate for those who register until the 29^th of May. After this date, registrations will be closed.
There is also a difference in rates for VSE and France Victimes’ members and non-members. This information will be checked by the organisers of the conference. If you have paid the wrong fee, the organisers reserve the right to require the participant to pay the difference between the two prices. If the difference is not paid, the organisers reserve the right not to accept the participation to the conference.

The fees cover catering costs (lunches and coffee breaks), translation costs, but also the expenses related to our speakers (travel costs, accommodation and catering), and the organisers’ management costs.
