On arrival at the conference, collect your badge at the registration kiosks, located near the Welcome Desk. 

Our friendly staff will be on hand during the opening hours indicated below to answer your questions and provide information about the conference, venue and surroundings.

Check the latest conference schedule, which may affect the opening and closing times for the Welcome Desk, Registration, Speakers’ Room and Exhibition Hall. 

Visit the Speakers’ Room

All speakers must check in at the Speakers’ Room at least two hours before their session or, if possible, upon arrival or the day before their session. 

This will ensure your presentation can be opened and loaded onto the conference computer system and networked appropriately. Any final adjustments can be made at this time.

• ensure your presentation has been properly uploaded 
• discuss how Q&A and discussion time will be managed.
