Hi, I think this should be clearly communicated to all registrants - not sure how many are subscribed here. As far as transit through the US is concerned, almost all nationalities(!) require a visa or visa waiver (mandatory pre- registration!). More details here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_4383.html
Cheers,
Christian

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