VISA: All non-Indian-citizens are required to have an Indian visa to enter the country. Please allow yourself sufficient time (say 2-3 weeks) to procure an appropriate visa from your nearest Indian consulate. There are several Indian consulates worldwide .
Flight Reservations: Flights to India tend to fill up well ahead of the December holiday season. We recommend that you make your flight reservations about 1-2 months in advance , to be on the safe side. We strongly recommend that you avoid arriving in New Delhi or taking flights that stop in New Delhi en-route to Mumbai ( Bombay ) or Chennai ( Madras ) or Bangalore -- winter fog often throws air-traffic off-gear in New Delhi.
Foreign Exchange: While international credit cards are widely accepted in commercial establishments in India , several places rely on cash transactions in the local currency (Indian Rupee). We suggest that you either carry some Indian currency when entering India or buy Indian currency at the currency exchange agencies in the Indian airports, upon arrival. Once in India , you can buy additional Indian currency from local branches of Citibank, Thomas Cook, etc.
Hotel Reservations: Please make your hotel reservations ahead of time so that you get your choice of accommodation.
Bangalore Weather: Bangalore weather is expected to be pleasant during the conference days.
