Hi!<br>
<br>
I just wanted to send a note to make people aware of a problem that<br>
attendees may encounter: Transit Visas. I'm not sure if something has<br>
changed in 2009 or the fact that we've been booking travel, but it<br>
seems as if individuals with citizenship in some countries (so far<br>
India and Morocco, and Hong Kong) require travel visas to travel<br>
through other countries (UK and Germany, Spain, and the United States,<br>
respectively).<br>
<br>
Please be aware if there are any Transit Visa requirements for your<br>
travel before you potentially get stuck.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
