1-2 Other provisions

Payments for registration have to be settled in EUR. All prices are quoted in EUR. Payment in any other currency will not be accepted. Registrations received without payment will not be processed and confirmed. Registration will be confirmed by means of the confirmation of payment, which will be sent to you upon receipt of the registration fees. An email will be sent to each participant just after the registration process. If the participant has paid online via our website, the payment confirmation e-mail will be a registration confirmation. If he/she has chosen another type of payment, the registration e-mail is a recap of the information he/she entered. In order to benefit from the early registration fees, all payments must be received within the deadlines described in article 1-1. Submission of the registration form without payment within deadlines is not entitled to benefit from the reduced fees at a later date. For all payments received on-site at the registration desk, the late/on-site registration fees apply.

Admittance to the Conference without full registration including payment of the registration fees cannot be granted. Advance payment is highly recommended since this will considerably accelerate your registration procedure upon your arrival at the conference.

2 - Confirmation of Registration

The Confirmation of Payment & Invoice will be sent to participants by e-mail upon receipt of full payment. Each participant needs to present this confirmation letter upon arrival at the on-site pre-registration desks in order to collect his/her name badge and conference documentation.

If a participant has not received the official registration confirmation within 14 days after his/her payment, he/she must contact the Conference Team.

Upon arrival at the Conference venue, all participants have to register themselves at the Conference Registration Desk.

Upon registration at the Conference venue, the Conference team will provide participants with detailed information about the event and a badge which should be worn visibly at all times. The personalized badge authorizes participants to attend all conference sessions. Kindly be informed that the badge is not transferable to another person. Thank you for understanding that person-related admission and name badges are necessary for event management and security. If a participant loses his/her badge or finds a badge, please come to the registration desk for assistance.
