The best place for attendees to start to determine on whether or not you need a visa to come to the US to attend the conference is on the US State Department website at: http://travel.state.gov/visa/

For those that will need a visa to enter, you can determine what kind of visa you'll need at:  http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1265.html

The visa process can sometimes be a lengthy one, so we recommend you start as soon as possible.
