The slides of the workshop presentations are online available on SlideShare.net via the tag WoMAN2011. Additionally, an event has been created on SlideShare.net also providing links to the presentations.
Please read the registration information very carefully. In particular, accepted work must have at least one author registered at a non-student rate by April 30 2011.
For workshop registration only (US$ 335) you need to select full conference registration (no matter which option) at the beginning. Please do not forget to enter the workshop paper ID (Wxxx) during the registration process. Later in the registration process you’re able to select only workshop participation (along with other options, if you wish to do so) and proceed with the payment. See screenshot below. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the organizers.
A note from the ICME organizers: “Only workshop authors without main conference paper presentation have the option to pay the main conference registration rate (instead of the workshop rate) to present their workshop papers and attend the main conference.”
