Event Policies and Terms

Badges Policy

At ECOC 2019, badges are essential for accessing conference events. Each badge is unique and non-transferable. For safety, remove badges when outside the event. A $25 reprint charge applies for replacements.

Accessibility

We prioritize accessibility, offering ADA-compliant accommodations. Advance notice during registration helps us provide suitable services. On-site, look for the ADA symbol for assistance. Please limit scent use to accommodate all attendees.

Event Cancellation

In case of event cancellation, registration fees are refundable, but travel and housing expenses are the attendee’s responsibility.

Exhibitor Policy

Exhibitors receive complimentary badges. Booth cancellations affect badge types. Exhibitors must register outside contractors. Primary contacts must register separately.

Force Majeure

We’re not liable for delays or cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. Attendees bear responsibility for related costs.

Identification at Registration

Photo ID is required at registration to ensure accurate attendance tracking. Registration materials aren’t provided without ID, and substitutes aren’t allowed.
