Dear Colleague,
This is the final reminder to participate in the 43RD ICTM WORLD
CONFERENCE, which will be held between 16 and 22 July 2015 at the Kazakh
National University of Arts [1] in Astana, Kazakhstan. Allow us to
provide you with a few facts and figures which might inspire you to join
us at the major ICTM event in 2015.
GETTING THERE
Arriving in Kazakhstan by air is easy. There are many international
direct flights every day from London, Frankfurt, Vienna, Istanbul,
Moscow, Kiev, Minsk, Beijing, Seoul, and Urumqi. Please note that by
flying with regional and local airlines (Air Astana [2], Aeroflot [3],
Belavia [4], Transaero [5], or Ukraine Airlines [6]) you might
significantly reduce your travelling expenses.
Citizens of many countries can enter Kazakhstan without a visa, and
visas upon arrival are also available. For updates on visa requirements,
please see the relevant section at the online Call for Papers:
http://www.ictmusic.org/next-world-conference [7].

When making the submission, please take the following into
consideration:
* If you wish to submit a PANEL, select the type of panel from the

the system. Once they will be received, the Secretariat will link them
both to you.
