I registered but the link for payment does not work. What should I do?
You probably need to wait for a bit: the registration needs to be manually checked by the CISM secretariat. After that you will receive a new confirmation email informing you that the payment links are active.
We know that this can create a moment of confusion, because you can access the payment button before payments are enabled.
Sorry for the inconvenience, we are working to make the process better!
If you do not receive a new email enabling the payment options after 24 working hours, please write to info@cism.it and info.eqai@gmail.com (reporting your confirmation number) to solve the issue!
