Meeting Attire
The attire for the Congress is business, and for the Gala Dinner it is formal/black tie or a costume representative of your country.

Tips for Prague

Buy:

  • a local SIM card at the airport (Vodafone) with 4 Gb internet for 25 € and always have access

Download in advance:

  • Lonely planet for Prague (10 USD at iBook store) gives you great info on your phone
  • Google maps from Prague in advance (offline maps), so you can use it offline (saves your phone battery)
  • Uber for taxi. Fast, nice, and inexpensive. Taxi from streets may be expensive

Bring:

  • A “juice pack” for your phone as it won’t last the entire day
