Check-In

The check-in (registration desk) will be in the lobby of Maritim Hotel ... exact location will be published in due course here

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 (... exact location will be published in due course here) where we will try sort all the things for you the check-in. The services there include:

  • 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.

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.
