Participation Fees
---------------------------
Now, let’s talk about how expensive this international conference is.
The TWIN team has always believed in offering value and maximum return
for your time and money. And we’ve managed to do that again. The
package (main conference and preconference) for this international
conference is much lower than the package of regular, local-chapter
conferences you have attended in the past.
Participation fee for the tcworld India 2011 conference is Rs. 2900
only (per person).

It has been possible due to the companies that have come forward to
support this event: Citrix, Cognizant, Oracle, and Red Chilli
Solutions. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for
their support. And we will rope in more corporate sponsors to support
this conference. If your company is interested in sponsoring this
conference, write to us off-list.

Venue and Date
------------------------
March 10, 2011: Pre-conference (web broadcasts)
March 11-12, 2011: Main Conference @ Taj Residency, MG Road, Bangalore
(now Vivanta)
