Hi All,
We are just about three weeks away from the symposium and we've had a
number of questions about logistics.

If you haven't yet registered, please note that *registration is closing
Feb 14th*. Space is limited; once we are sold out of seats we will not be
able to accommodate any additional participants.  You can register here
<http://2016symposium.eventzilla.net/web/event?eventid=2138843706>.

If you have any questions please send them to:
dhis2symposium2016@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*Visas:*  If you need an invitation letter for a visa, please send your
request to dhis2symposium2016@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.  Note that refunds are not
available at this time, so we encourage our international participants to
register but not pay for the ticket until your visa is secured.

*Getting to Hotels from Airport with a Taxi: *You can pay for a taxi using
either cash or credit and can expect to pay anywhere between $60 and $90
USD to travel from Dulles International Airport to the hotel. Please keep
in mind that amount may vary significantly depending on traffic conditions.
