Registrations are non-refundable, but are transferable. But I understand your difficulty, and suggest a compromise. Mail us a check to lock in the pre-registration price, and we'll just put it in a drawer for now. If you can't get the passport, we'll just rip up the check.

Looking at his last post, maybe he had enough of C++ quirks? :)

I'm impressed! Will it be about D?

Considering his high specialization in C++, my guess is that it will be some comparison remarks between C++ and D.

His website is where I first learned about D back in 2007.

I see missing in the "Important dates" is the release of the chosen talks. Is that known? Or are they going to be surprise announcements like this one?

Already have my plane and conference ticket :) Just curious at this point.

I'll check about the passport requirements first.

PS: Do you know until when the pre-registration price will be
available?

Thanks for answering and be gentle with my situation.
