The group registration service enables you to register your delegates as a group and is available through the ESC website for companies and agencies to manage group registrations.
We remind you that Article L. 313-6-2 of the French Penal Code states: 'The act of selling, offering to sell… or providing the means for sale or assignment of access cards to a sporting, cultural or commercial congress…in a usual way without the authorization of the organizer…of this congress… is punishable by a fine of €15,000. The penalty is a fine of €30,000 for repeat offences.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, access cards are considered as all access tickets, documents, messages or codes, whatever the form or medium, giving evidence that the right to attend the congress has been granted by the organizer...'
In such an congress, the ESC reserves the right to cancel the corresponding registration(s) and to take legal action, without prejudice to any other civil or criminal action that may be brought.
Registrations should be made through one contact person responsible for managing the group. In addition to the general registration conditions, which can be found on the specific registration web page defined for each congres, by registering, you fully accept all conditions as further detailed:
- To register as a group a minimum of 5 delegates is required.
- New registrations can only be submitted by the group contact through the My ESC group account.
- Group registrations sent by post, fax or email will not be accepted.
- All groups from an EU country should provide a VAT number.
Email addresses
Email address must be provided for each delegate. Registrations made with an invalid email address (agency or general) will not be accepted. If the valid address is submitted at a later stage, the fee corresponding to the period when we receive this information will apply.
Valid information is not only important for the ESC but also for your attendees, so they can access the congress platform and receive important, ESC-related information and updates.
Registration of Association members by a group
Registration of the above-mentioned members can be done through group in “My ESC” following the below conditions:
- The ESC will not provide any information about delegate’s membership status and it is the responsibility of the person making the registration to provide the ESC ID and member status* of their delegates if they wish to register that delegate at the reduced fee. Care should be taken to ensure that the delegate has renewed their membership.
- In case the selected fee does not match the delegate’s membership status at the time of registration, the ESC registration team will change the registration to a standard fee and claim the difference between a membership and the standard fee.
- The standard fee selected at the time of registration cannot be changed to a member fee* at a later stage.
