Ranjit,
The distance from Jayanagar to BIAL is 36 km and should be approximately 1 hour to 1.5 hours.
There are plenty of hotels in the Jayanagar, Pai Vijay and Pai Viceroy are two that come to mind.
On the Koramangla side, don't worry about hotels  |

Hi Madan,
Would be interested in the pre-Aquatika and post-Aquatika plans to make arrangements accordingly.
I understand that post-Aquatika we go home , but I would like to know if anything else is planned. |

Hello Madan,
Can you detail the Agenda for Aquatika? I know Mr.Amano will doing presentation and probably a live demo of setting up a tank.. I wonder how much would be covered in theory vs practical in a day's time... Also are there any planted tank products for sale during this time?
I'm just wondering if Rs.3000/- is really worth it? If you can give more details it will help me & others to make up our minds..
Thanks a lot in advance,
Vivek |

Vivek, whether it is worth it or not, is up to you to decide, no one can predict your satisfaction. The Agenda at Aquatika 2009 will revolve around Mr. Amano's presentation and Demo, we do not want to limit these with a time factor.
ADA India may be organising other events separately on other dates, which will not involve IAH, they should make an announcement if anything is finalised.
Amano's presentation, together with the translation, questions time et al., will take up a lot of time in a one day event, we might have in a few fillers depending on the actual time available on the day.
There are no Pre-Aquatika events planned by IAH. No transportation is being arranged by IAH, liaise with local members for your requirements.
As of now there are no sales planned at Aquatika, you can liaise with the LFS here and they should gladly help with what you want.
Traveling time from Airport to venue by the Volvo buses is 1.5 hours cost Rs.150/-, Railway station to venue is 45 minutes, cost Rs. 75/- approx.
Starting time will not be earlier than 9:30 AM, we will announce the actual time later.
IAH is not bringing out a recording of the event. |

Deba it is one straight road from your place. You should be able to walk it in an hour.  |

That's very comfortable to hear.
BTW, why don't the attendees get a certificate for attending this conference. This will work as a memento and an acknowledgment of our participation.  |

Why is there no pre-Aquatika warm up party?
Man! Irrespective of the agenda, parties are life of any meet, IMO. I for one will miss the pre-bash very much.  |

Better book your hotel rooms early since a sizeable contingent is expected from Singapore and other neighboring countries.
After all this is for the first time in Asia an event like this will be held. |

Hi Madan
With respect to the Account No for Transfer of Registration fees, it has only 13 digits, This is true with older accounts with HDFC Bank. I guess there should be another zero in front of the account number you provided. |
