Dear Jianghui, dear all,

at last it worked! :-) :-)

I managed to register and received an order confirmation eMail.

Thanks and best regards,

Oliver

P.S. Just a minor remark: after completing the registration and payment 
process, a "return to registration" button is offered. This links back 
to the unsafe (http) page rather than the safe (https) version of the 
conference website.
