PARTICIPANTS ATTENDANCE POLICY
All event activities (including Plenary Sessions, Meet-the-Expert Sessions, Satellite Symposia, Poster Sessions, Exhibition Area, etc.) are exclusively reserved for registered participants. Badges provided at registration are required for entrance into all functions and will be strictly enforced.
CLIMATE
At the end of April, the average temperature begins around 4°C and increases up to 14°C during daytime. We expect cloudy weather with sunny spells and a chance of rain.
CURRENCY
Poland is a member state of the European Union but the euro zone stretches beyond its western and southern borders. So the country has its own currency, złoty (PLN), which is the nation’s legal tender. Nevertheless some establishments, notably hypermarkets, accept payments in euros. Most international credit cards are widely accepted for payment in hotels, restaurants and shops, except for American Express credit cards which are less accepted. Foreign currency may be changed at banks, hotels, airports and in exchange offices. ATM machines are easily available throughout the city and at the airport.
SAFETY & SECURITY
Follow the same rules of safety you follow while travelling anywhere else:
Keep your travel documents in your hotel safe deposit box
Always carry the hotel address with you when you leave the hotel
Do not leave personal items (bags, mobile phones, etc.) unattended

The congress organizers will not contact embassies or consulates on your behalf.

A certificate of attendance can be printed in the registration area from Saturday April 21 in the afternoon (the exact time will be communicated during the congress).
