Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chairs,
Working Group and Community Groups who signed up to meet (bcc’ed),


Registration for TPAC is now open:

        TPAC 2018
        22 - 26 October 2018
        Cité Centre de Congrès de Lyon
        Lyon, France
        https://www.w3.org/2018/10/TPAC/


**Chairs, please be sure to remind participants in your groups to register.
We will seek additional information from Chairs closer to the meeting
regarding audio visual needs and other requests.**

Please read carefully the information below:

------------------------------------------
Registration
------------------------------------------

There is a daily registration fee. The per person, per day fee is:
  Early Bird rate (until 31 Jul): EUR 92 (EUR 110 with VAT)
  Standard rate (until 30 Sep): EUR 135 (EUR 160 with VAT)
  Late/on-site rate (starting 1 Oct): EUR 170 (EUR 205 with VAT)

This year we are creating an Invited Expert Fund to help support Invited
Experts who participate actively in W3C groups and who request financial
support to attend TPAC. We hope attendees recognize the value of supporting
IEs and will agree to a nominal 5% fee addition to the above rates, however
there is the ability to opt out.

As in the past, registration is a two-step process:

1) A WBS form for meeting and dietary information
  https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35125/TPAC2018/

2) A payment system
  https://www.w3.org/2016/04/payment/tpac.php


For more information about registration fees and the payment system, see:
  https://www.w3.org/2018/10/TPAC/Overview.html#registration


Please note that registration is not complete until payment has been made.

Accommodation
------------------------------------------

W3C has arranged discount room rates from 20/21 (check-in) until 26 October
2018 September (check-out)
with different hotels.
As usual we strongly recommend you to make hotel reservations before the
end of the summer period.
For booking tips and more information about hotels, see:

------------------------------------------
Plenary Day 2018 (Unconference)
------------------------------------------

Plenary Day 2018 consists of unconference breakouts for TPAC participants.
  https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2018

We invite attendees to suggest breakout sessions via the wiki:

Group Meetings / Advisory Committee Meeting
-------------------------------------------

Group Meetings Schedule: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday:

  * 08:30-18:00: Traditional Group face-to-face meetings
  * 12:00-14:00: Lunch (each group will determine their lunch time)

This year again we have scheduled the AC Meeting towards the end of the day
from 15:00 to 18:00 on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. We hope this will
minimize the likelihood of conflicts with group meetings.


------------------------------------------
Remote participation
------------------------------------------

Working/Interest/Business Groups may request telephone access for remote
participants. This year again, we plan to use MIT's webex system.

If you plan to attend the Advisory Committee Meeting remotely, please let
us know on <acregister@w3.org>.

IRC will be available for all meetings.


For any questions, please contact <w3t-tpregister@w3.org>.


With kind regards,
Coralie Mercier, Head of W3C Marketing & Communications
