Registration to the Conference must be done online, through the Conference website.

Official letters of invitation are intended to help potential attendees obtain travel funds or a visa. The letter does not constitute any financial commitment on the part of the Congress and will only be available to fully registered and paid participants and their registered accompanying persons. A formal request, therefore, should be done upon registration through the  Congress website.

All requests should be sent to wsc2015@ibge.gov.br.
