Check-In

Our check-in (registration desk) will be next to the elevators (lifts) near the reception of Maritim Hotel on Thursday and Friday.
On Saturday and Sunday it will be in the Organisation office.

 

The check-in desk will be open ... times will be published in due course here

Please be patient because processing all the people takes time. (Play a game! Sing a song!)

If something needs looking up, you might be directed to the secondary desk in the organisation office; the people there can dive into the database. Please accept that, too, may take time.

Organisation office

We will have an organisation office in the Maritim Hotel on first floor in the conference area in the room "Teneriffa A".

When you're in the big hall on first floor facing the exit towards the airport it is on the left hand side.

  • Sort any issues you happen by with
  • Sell remaining seats available on events (mainly for non-delegates)
  • We have a printer there in case something needs to be printed (maily for the IBD meeting)
  • Assist with questions the check-in can’t
  • If your need is not on this list... try us!

The organisation office will be open ... times will be published in due course here

Badge and Vouchers

When registering at the check-in (the reception desk) you will get a small welcome package.

The most important part is your Badge that you want to have on you at all times – we supply a lanyard for it.

The badge not only shows your name and the town and country you are from, bit in addition a QR code to share contact information and used for checking into events you booked as well as a ticket valid for the local public transport (see Transport - During IBD+ for details on that).

On the badge we will print the languages you speak to facilitate the international exchange between visitors of this event.

In addition, you will probably get some Vouchers valid for the events you booked, food or beverages at the odd event in the evening.

For some of the dinners during booking you stated the dish you want to have; we did this so that the restaurants have a reasonable chance of handling the huge number of guests in a timely manner.

Furthermore, in some cases we might include Vouchers for beverages – the reason being that when quite a few thirsty people arrive, exchanging a voucher for a drink is faster than paying for it or such.

Please note that a voucher is valid only for the place stated on the voucer – you can't use it for other dinners etc.
