Travel, entrance fees, meal and tea breaks for delegates will be covered by IFFCO, but there will be a fee for accompanying (non-delegate) family members.
A visit to Jaipur (Hawa Mahal, City Palace and Nahalgarh Fort) will also be provided.
There will be additional trips around Delhi for family members on 26 and 27 November and to the Taj Mahal (28 November only). Additional trips to Varanasi (for Sarnath temple, Ghats, Vishwanath and other temples) can also be facilitated.
Details on how to pre-book these trips will be shared shortly, and delegates will also be able to book at the travel desks in the conference venue.
