How do I register for 2022 ICFP Pre-conferences?
When you register, you will have the opportunity to choose the Pre-conference and Mentorship Program opportunities about which you would like to receive more information. This information will be sent to you as it becomes available from each respective subcommittee. This information will also be included in the ICFP Conference Program which will be available on the ICFP website in September 2022.
What 2022 ICFP scientific conference sessions will be livestreamed?
Track organizers have taken great care to rank sessions in order of the highest-quality abstracts from each track based on the scores given by reviewers. Each track has been given a number of sessions based on the number of abstracts submitted to that track. Each track will have approximately 50% of their conference sessions livestreamed. These sessions will be indicated as such in the conference program. Due to the limited size of some of the session rooms and the interactive nature of the oral flash presentations, these sessions will not be livestreamed.
Will ICFP2022 provide transportation to the airport?
The hotels that are confirmed as official conference hotels (the hotels on this page) are also those for which transportation will be provided to and from Suvarnabhumi Airport – Bangkok (BKK) as well as to and from the Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall (PEACH).
Note: Attendees who book their stay elsewhere must access transportation on their own, or travel to one of the designated ICFP hotels to travel in the provided conference transportation.
Find more information on ICFP transportation below:

Additionally, we recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover flights, accommodations, etc. Please note that in the case of unforeseen venue capacity restrictions, travel insurance is not likely to cover this circumstance. Please review the terms and conditions of the policy to ensure that it provides the level of protection that you are looking for.
