Registration
All participants of the conference (attendees, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors) must register to attend the conference and wear a correct name badge at all times. Due to strict insurance conditions we do not allow ‘shared’ registrations. Attendees not able to attend for the full conference should register for day rates. Anyone wishing to access the exhibition will also need to register for the conference. It is not possible for the general public to access any part of the conference or exhibition without paying a registration fee.
