Letter of Invitation
The congress organisation will be pleased to send a formal letter of invitation to delegates requesting an invitation letter for visa purposes. In order to request this formal letter of invitation please write to dis@discongress.com. It is understood that such an invitation is intended to help potential delegates to raise funds or to obtain a visa. This does not imply a commitment from the congress to provide any financial support. The letters will be sent by regular air mail. In case an express delivery is needed, the delegate shall order a courier at his/ her own expense.

The entry formalities for the Kingdom of Denmark vary according to the country of origin.

Local Transportation
The Metro train from Copenhagen Airport offers you a direct train every 4-6 minutes to the city centre of Copenhagen and will take approximately 14 minutes. Please check www.m.dk for further information.
A taxi from Copenhagen Airport to the city centre is approximately DKK 250 (no extra charges for suit-cases).
How to get to the venue
In the conference bag delegates will find a travel card valid for the period Wednesday, August 16 to Saturday, August 18. It allows delegates to travel freely within the zones 1 and 2 with metro, s-train and bus. This means that delegates are able to travel from their hotel to the venue, and also travel around in the city centre. Copenhagen Business School is placed right next to the metro station “Frederiksberg”, so it is very easy to get to the venue with the metro.
Presentations/discussions
Please bring your presentation/discussion on a USB flash drive or similar. Meet 10 minutes before your session starts in order to make sure that your file is accessible for your presentation or discussion. The PCs used for presentations have access to the Internet, so you can access Dropbox, webmail or similar, if you should experience any problems with your USB device.
Internet
Wireless Internet is available at Copenhagen Business School. The secured wireless system Eduroam is available. If your home institution supports Eduroam and you have set it up to work at your home institution it should also work at CBS seamlessly.
