https://indico.cern.ch/e/lc2021
We are very pleased to invite you to Light Cone 2021 (LC2021) Conference that will be held at Jeju Booyoung Hotel & Resort, Jeju Island, South Korea, from November 29 to December 4, 2021. Light Cone 2021 is the latest in the series of conferences that started in 1991 under the supervision of the International Light Cone Advisory Committee (ILCAC) and have played an important role in promoting research towards a rigorous description of hadrons and nuclei based on light-front quantization methods. As with earlier conferences in the series, the aim of this meeting will be to create a scientific program that will stimulate developments at the forefront of nuclear, hadron, and particle physics research. Under the present situation of COVID-19 pandemic, LC 2021 will be held in a hybrid format; in-person and online.

https://indico.cern.ch/event/938795/
The registration fee is USD 250. Students are eligible for a reduced registration fee of USD 100. The fee will cover all lunches (from Monday to Friday) and refreshments. The conference dinner is not allowed by the Korean government under the situation of pandemic. However, if the situation changes, we will consider to have social activities.
The organizing committee managed to get a conference package rate (~130 USD/night for a standard double room including breakfast) at the Jeju Booyoung Hotel & Resort for all LC2021 participants and accompanying persons. The hotel strictly observe the guidelines of the Korean government against the COVID-19. The webpage for hotel reservation will open soon.
8. Entry visa and Quarantine
Because of the pandemic, visa-free visit of Korea is very limited and the policies/regulations change every month. All visa-free foreign visitors should obtain K-ETA in advance from Sep. 1, 2021. Please visit https://www.k-eta.go.kr/portal/apply/index.do?locale=EN for details. At this moment, all visitors to Korea should have 2 weeks quarantine, which, however, is exempted for visitors who are fully vaccinated and meet a few conditions required by the Korean government. The most recent information will be updated regularly at the conference webpage, https://indico.cern.ch/event/938795/page/20694-visa-quarantine-important. Please contact the LOC through lightcone2021@gmail.com when you make a plan for an international trip.
