Conference Costs
Conference participation costs (see below) will be fully covered for one participant per organisation. One additional delegate per organisation may register to attend the conference but travel must be arranged by the 2nd participant and a registration fee of Euros 500 (to cover hotel accommodation, local transportation to/from conference centre and meals) will be invoiced, either directly to the 2nd participant or a local sponsor, if appropriate. All registrations must be made via the registration website (on registering you will be asked to indicate whether you are a participant, 2nd participant, speaker or a sponsor). No reimbursements will be made as all necessary arrangements will be made by us.

Travel costs for sponsor representatives:
Sponsors’ delegates should make their own flight reservations but are also expected to register on the registration website. Room bookings will then be made by the logistics agency.
