Individual Registration Conditions

GENERAL CONDITIONS

Registrations are confirmed upon receipt of payment (by credit card, bank transfer or cheque) and a valid address on your individual registration form (we kindly remind you that sponsor addresses are not accepted). The registration will be acknowledged by email. You may update your address here.

Your congress badge will be mailed together with the congress bag voucher prior to the Congress. The badge will be sent upon the condition that the registration is paid in full before the pre-registration deadline of 31 October 2009.

We advise you to bring your confirmation email to the congress together with the congress badge and voucher in order to collect your congress documents as soon as possible after your arrival. You may be asked for proof of identity.

If you have paid the registration fee but did not receive your badge in time before leaving for the congress, please go to the special "Pre-Registration without badge" desk located in the Registration Area with your pre-registration confirmation email.

If you did not pay in time, your badge will be available at the "Registration Assistance" desk in the Registration Area.
