Participants registered for the in-person conference will receive information regarding the venue, schedule, and conference activities.
Participants registered for the online participation option, where applicable, will receive instructions for accessing the digital platform before the event.

Requests for exceptions due to force majeure must be submitted by email to [email protected], including relevant supporting documentation. Each request will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
If the conference is cancelled by the organizers, registered participants will receive a full refund of the registration fee, using the same payment method used for the original transaction.
If a registered participant is unable to attend, the registration may be transferred to another participant, provided that the organizers are notified in advance by email.
Right of Withdrawal
In accordance with Article 16(l) of Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights, the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for services related to leisure activities when the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance, such as conferences or events.
Therefore, once registration has been completed, participants are not entitled to withdraw from the contract or request a refund, except in the cases described in the Cancellation and Refund Policy.
