We accept:
PayPal charges high fees, which is why we offer PayPal only for non-SEPA countries. Within SEPA (the European Single Euro Payments Area), a simple bank transfer is recommended.
Unfortunately, purchase orders are only accepted from sponsors. All other tickets must be purchased directly through the ticket shop.
If tickets need to be purchased by another department, please coordinate internally to complete the transaction through the ticket shop. Purchase orders sent by email or fax will not be processed. Procurement-based purchasing is available exclusively to sponsors.
Yes. Tickets can be purchased by invoice and paid via bank transfer through the ticket shop.
Please make sure to download the invoice immediately after purchase and ensure it is processed correctly by your bookkeeping or procurement department. All funds must be received within the stated payment term; unpaid tickets will be canceled automatically. Conference tickets will be issued once payment has been processed on our side.
Please note that while we understand there may be delays in internal procurement processes, the conference cannot accept any payment delays or provide additional paperwork, supplier onboarding, or custom processing for purchase systems. If this is not feasible, we recommend completing the purchase via credit card instead.
The conference ticket includes a light lunch buffet, coffee breaks, and light refreshments throughout the day.
While every effort is made to provide a diverse selection, some options may be limited due to local conditions. The planned options include:
All food will be labeled for allergens. We will conduct a representative survey before the conference to ensure an appropriate distribution of options.
Tickets can be re-assigned until two days before the conference.
All on-site tickets do include remote access, so if one does not feel well one can still join remotely.
Invoice details can be updated in self-service through the ticket shop.
When changes are made, the system automatically issues a credit note for the original invoice and generates a new corrected invoice.
Companies, organizational entities and freelancers are required to purchase Standard tickets — no exceptions.

Please note that if student status ends before the conference takes place, the discounted ticket is not applicable.
