Visas and Letters of Invitation

Authors are responsible for obtaining any necessary visa or other travel documentation needed to travel to California and present accepted work in person. Because this process can take 3+ months, it is important to make  requests for visa application support as soon as paper acceptance is received. 

If your paper is accepted and you require a visa to travel to the US, please submit an Invitation Letter Request so that we may supply a customized invitation letter as soon as possible.
