(12 Apr 2022) International Data Week 2022, hosted by the Republic of Korea, is now accepting onsite registration. Those wishing to attend will need first to create an account on IDW2022.org. Once an account is made, you can continue to register to attend in person or virtually. If you have already registered to attend virtually, but now would like to attend in person, you can now upgrade that initial registration, by logging in to your previously created account at idw2022.org.
Please note that the early bird fees are available until 20 May. Requests for cancellation will need to be made no later than 7 days prior to the conference to receive a full refund. Cancellations must be submitted in writing and sent via email to [email protected]
Travel restrictions were recently modified by the Korean Government and now allow fully vaccinated attendees to visit with no mandatory quarantine period. Quarantine exemption will be available for those who have completed their third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or received two doses (one dose for Janssen) at least 14 days prior but within 180 days.
About IDW 2022:
