Registration

The conference fees are exempted from VAT in line with the German tax regulations (section 4 (22) UStG). Upon registration and payment of the attendance fee, you are entitled to the following:

• Participation in the Conference
• Detailed conference documentation
• Midday meal on all three Conference days
• Refreshments at the designated coffee bars and points
• Visit to the parallel exhibition
• Participation at the gala evening on October 19, 2011
• Participation in the After Work Party on October 20, 2011

If the capacity is exceptional limited, we will ensure for adequate coverage.

Again this year we will take pictures, which will be present in the internet and other media.

Use of RFID technology

After you have registered and your payment has been received before the registration deadline, you will receive a badge with integrated RFID transponder. You must bring the badge with you to the Conference as your admission ticket. If you register during the Conference itself, you will receive your badge directly at the venue after you have paid the registration fee. The badge permits access as well as contact-free check-in to the Conference, and it also serves as your admission ticket to all Conference events. Please always wear your badge so it is easily visible. It is not permitted to transfer the admission ticket and badge.

Your RFID badge will be scanned to allow you to receive your Conference documentation and take a midday meal in the restaurant, and it also serves as your admission ticket to the Senate reception. The same applies to your registration on site for the outdoor sequences on October 19, 2011 at 13:00.

The RFID technology is being used to collect and process participation-related data in order to optimise the organisation of the Conference. Maximum data economy and confidentiality are assured during this process. An optical or acoustic signal at all reader stations where data is being recorded will draw your attention to the fact that data is being collected. The chip integrated in the badge sends an identifi cation number to the reader over a short distance. This number and an interconnected database will then check such things as access authorisation or whether or not Conference documentation has been received.

At the end of the Conference, all the information in this database will be deleted.

If you would prefer anonymised allocation of the identification number to your data during the event, you can request this on October 18, 2011 between 5 and 8 pm or on the Conference days from 8 am at the counter in the foyer of the Hotel InterContinental Berlin.
