Re: Flight Details and Travel Arrangements - HOW2025 Conference

by Ivan Blinkov

Hello Grant, Thank you for the invitation, but I think I'll skip Beijing this time: I've been there like five times, and it's a more complicated route to get to Jinan from Thailand, where I currently reside. I'll keep you updated on the visa and flight status. -- Ivan Blinkov On Wed, Jun 18, 2025 at 2:10 PM GRANT ZHOU <grantzhou(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Ivan, > > Thanks for the updates, actually we've made some adjustments to > accommodate any potential changes to speakers' travel plans, and we'll > continue to update them as needed. > > Additionally, we're organizing a one-day Beijing tour on June 26.

Hello Ivan, Thanks for the updates, actually we've made some adjustments to accommodate any potential changes to speakers' travel plans, and we'll continue to update them as needed. Additionally, we're organizing a one-day Beijing tour on June 26. If you're interested, you could join us by arriving in Beijing on June 25 for the tour, then take the high-speed train to Jinan afterward. We can book your hotel in Beijing for the night of June 25, as well as arrange the high-speed train and hotels in Jinan from June 27-30, depending on your travel plans. Please send us your flight details as soon as you've booked your flight.

Hi Grant, I applied for a Chinese visa yesterday and haven't heard back yet. As for the schedule, the link you provided says it's at 11:20 AM instead of 9:00 AM, but any of those time slots are fine for me.
