Dear colleagues,

August 19, the OPENING DAY of the International Congress at Hyderabad, is just 15 weeks away. And the “early bird” registration at Indian Rupees 16,000 closes in another week – at midnight on May 15 (Indian Standard Time = GMT +0530) exactly a 100 days before the inauguration. So please hurry and register yourself as a delegate.

Among the exciting events that will take place on the sidelines of the Congress are a Classical Indian (Hindustani) Music Concert by the renowned artist Rashid Khan, an Indian Dance-Drama (Bharata Natyam) by the troupe Nrityashree led by Professor C V Chandrasekhar, and a play. There will also be some public out-reach events during the Congress. India of course is a wonderful tourist destination catering to every taste and interest. The Congress closes on August 27.

Details about all these will be put up on our web-site http://www.icm2010.org.in over the next few days.

We look forward to welcoming you in Hyderabad.

Rajat Tandon
Secretary
ICM 2010
