Sorry the registration to this course has been closed as we have reached the maximum room capacity. If you indeed want to attend the course this March, please email to Wei at wei.shen@candu.org to have your name included on the waiting list. You would be informed if a bigger room were made available for the course. But there is no guarantee and the chance is not that high. The good news is that the course will likely be offered again, in March 2025. Please consider registering early next time to avoid disappointment!
