📋 Information you’ll need to register

This checklist includes all the information you’ll need to have available when you start your registration.

📧 Confirmation email

We will send you a confirmation email:

  • A summary of your registration details;
  • A link to submit abstracts via the abstract management portal.

Important: Your email includes unique links. Do not share them unless someone is submitting an abstract on your behalf.

🎟️ Ticket selection

We’ll direct you to the right registration form based on your eligibility. Not sure which category applies? Check the breakdown for details in the following pages.

👥 Accompanying persons

If you prefer to travel with a partner or colleague who isn’t attending the Congress, we welcome their attendance at our networking events. Please register your accompanying person alongside your registration.

🩺 Caregivers

If you need to travel with a caregiver, you may be eligible for a caregiver grant to help cover the costs of their travel and accommodation. Please indicate that you need additional care when prompted to do so and you will be directed to apply for a caregiver grant.

📝 Registering on behalf of someone else

If you are registering on behalf of someone else, please make sure you know which networking activities they want to book before starting their registration. Our networking activities book up very quickly and we can’t guarantee there will still be spaces available once the Congress begins.
