How you are you guys, not from US, make it to these kind of events? Isn't obtaining visas and so on a problem?
- rkuykendall-com 13y agoWhy would you need a visa to attend a conference? You don't need a visa to travel, and I think people travel for business all the time.
- mwfunk 13y agoThat's actually not true, it depends on what country you're from. By default, you need a visa to enter the US, even for short visits. However, if you're from one of the countries on this page, then the visa requirement is waived for visits < 90 days: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/visit/visa-waiver-program.html http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/visit/visa-wai...
- rplnt 13y agoIf you meet some additional criteria (mentioned on the page as well). Also many of the countries were added just recently (2008).
- rkuykendall-com 13y agoThanks! I really did want to learn about this, and phrased my post all wrong. I really appreciate the information.
- camus2 13y ago> You don't need a visa to travel, and I think people travel for business all the time. What?you obviously dont know what you are talking about.
- rkuykendall-com 13y agowow, I clearly should have rephrased that. I actually didn't have any idea what I was talking about and was curious to find out more. I see now that I wrote that all wrong, the question didn't sound like a question.
- dotnick 13y agoI've never been before; this will (hopefully) be my first time, but my excuse is that I can combine in with some geeky sightseeing in the US.
