1. Registration of organizations, delegates and self-managed events; Observers

Registration of organizations and delegates

Civil society organizations, movements and entities that recognize their full agreement with the Charter of Principles of the WSF and that expressly adhere to it, can register delegates to the Americas Social Forum and propose self-managed events.

Within 15 days of sending the form you will receive the confirmation of approval of your registration.

When you register your organization, you will define a login and password that will allow you to make modifications, or register delegates and events.

Political parties of governmental bodies that adhere to the Charter of Principles can register as observers, using the same registration form for organizations.

Registration fee:

The registration fee is US$ 60 for each organization whose registration has been accepted. Registration includes 2 delegates; each additional delegate US$ 10. Information will be available shortly as to the modalities and date limit for paying registration fees.

Registration of self-managed events: (CLOSED !)

Once the organization is registered, you can register self-managed events. The date limit to register events is September 9th 2008. To register an event, log on with your organizational login to the registration site.

You can register the following types of events.

Workshop

Seminar

Exhibition

Celebration

Cultural activity

When registering each event, you should indicate which of the themes or subthemes most closely corresponds to your activity. The list is an approximation; the activity does not have to be limited to these themes. Within each main theme you have the option of choosing "other subtheme".

We will inform you later whether other organizations have proposed events on similar themes, and you will have the opportunity to join with them if you consider it appropriate.

The Organizing Committee reserves the right to approve the events proposed, according to their conformity with the general criteria of the Forum and the available space. If there are space problems, priority will be given to events proposed by networks and coalitions.

The Forum only guarantees physical space and inclusion in the program. The organization that proposes the event must cover the other costs, including equipment and services required (amplification, interpretation, projectors, etc.) In any case, we will try to offer optimal conditions, as far as the available resources allow.

2. Registration of participants (individuals)

Interested persons without an organizational affiliation can register and attend as participants. They will be able to attend most events but not organize events.

Registration fee:

Individual participants will pay a minimum registration fee of US$ 5 for local participants (Central America) and US$ 10 for international participants. (Or more as a solidarity contribution to the Forum). The payment will be made in the entrance of the Forum on receiving the registration badge.
