Support Letters

Requests for visa support letters for purposes of attending or presenting at CoNEXT 2011 are handled by ACM.

International registrants should be particularly aware and careful about visa requirements, and should plan travel well in advance. All visa inquiries must be handled by ACM headquarters.

Please send your request for a letter in support of a visa application to supportletters@acm.org. You must include:

  1. Your name;
  2. Your mailing address;
  3. Your fax number;
  4. The name of the conference you are attending (i.e., CoNEXT 2011); and,
  5. If you are an author of an accepted paper or poster, please provide the title.

Once the information is sent, ACM expects to issue the letter within a week. Please note that ACM does not issue formal "letters of invitation" to any of its conferences, only Visa Support Letters describing the conference and your relation to it (e.g., author, travel grant recipient).

If you need further assistance, you may contact General Co-chair, Kenjiro Cho. Please include "CoNEXT2011" in the subject.
