The registration for the WAN-IFRA 2009 World Newspaper Congress - World Editors Forum began at noon Monday.

To ease registration traffic, conference badges were sent to the hotels of participants if the hotel was known, said Poland native and information director, Anna Kwawczyk.

Participants should register at the actual conference if their hotel is unknown, she said.

"Some important people registered yesterday," Kwawcyzk said. "We asked other people to register today for convenience."

According to Kwawcyzk, there have been no major problems with registration so far. There have been some misspellings of names and people have been indentified with the wrong countries on badges, but nothing major.

"There are always problems, mistakes happen," she said.

Registration will be open from Monday to Thursday.
