The hotel info was sent a while ago - we are staying at the Caribe Hilton.The address info is on the local host website. For visas - the invitation letter was available quite a while ago as well.
Yes visa letters were available, but hotel details where not until a few hours ago. If this information was needed for visa processing purposes?
And that is why I think per diems are to be refunded after the event - they haven't as yet worked out how to give them out before! The revised policy is clear that it is supposed to be received before or at the meeting.
Agree that implementing any new policy is challenging. More reason why a transition period should have been provided for. alice
