It doesn't seem like this is open to anyone who would wish to attend.

Plus, the cheapest registration fee is USD$860, and it only applies to delegates from central banks, financial institutions and banknote printers. For delegates of industry suppliers in competition with the event sponsors, the registration fee is a whopping USD$10,000.00!!!

But alas, it sure would be nice to go. The BoC tour would be appealling!
