Please inform us of your flight itinerary and the conference secretariat will try to match participants with similar arrival times for shared taxi transportation.

All visitors to Israel are required to have a valid passport, and for some countries, a visa is required. For more information please contact your nearest embassy, consulate or local travel agency well in advance. It is the responsibility of the participant to obtain a visa if required.
