Early-bird registrations include attendance of all technical sessions, lunch on both days and attendance of the conference banquet on Thursday evening.
Late and on-site registrations include the same as early registrations, except that only a limited number of banquet seats will be available to these registrants, on a first-come-first-served basis.
In case of an early student registration, a signed declaration from the study leader must be uploaded during the registration process. It must confirm (a) the status of the registrant as a full-time student at a recognised institution of higher education; and (b) that the registrant does not earn a salary. Thus, students should have this ready before the early-bird deadline.
