Who we are
ICAR is a non-profit group selected by ISAR Board of Directors with the approval of the ISAR members to host and organize a scientific meeting. Our website address is: https://www.icarxi.com
Attendee data
ICAR is committed to protecting your privacy, and we honor your right to make choices about the information you share with us. ICAR requests information from those who engage with us to complete business processes such as meeting registration, to improve the communication and sharing of science, to improve programs and websites, and to serve the interests of members, authors, meeting attendees, and others by providing them with relevant information.
We are committed to providing an explanation of what information is required and what is optional, as well as how that information is being used.
ICAR does not sell meeting attendee or member contact information.
It has been brought to our attention that some individuals and organizations have been contacted with offers of lists for purchase. These offers are not affiliated with ICAR in any way and are unauthorized. We thank our exhibitors for reporting this issue to us. If you receive or know of an email containing such an offer, we ask that you please alert us by email.
