Fees are quoted in euros (EUR) per person and include Italian VAT at 22%. Should the VAT rate increase, the registration fees will be adjusted accordingly.

The conference is liable for Italian VAT, as it is classed as a “service under VAT legislation”; VAT is therefore charged by the services provider (the conference organisers). Italian institutions and companies covered by VAT-exemption policies will not be charged VAT, provided they can demonstrate their specific exemption status.

Please note: the Company Event can only be booked in combination with a Standard registration and will not be available for the Academia and Student fees.

Visa

Depending on your citizenship, you may need to obtain a visa before travelling to Italy.
For detailed information, visit the website of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: https://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en
It is the delegate’s responsibility to check the visa requirements for Italy and to apply for a visa if necessary.
The conference organisers and the organising secretariat will not directly contact embassies or consulates on behalf of visa applicants. Visas should be requested up to four months before departure, as the application process can take several weeks.

The official visa letter and invitation to the conference can be downloaded from your personal page in the registration area of the conference website. The visa letter does not legally or financially bind the organising secretariat, and all expenses related to the conference shall be borne by delegates themselves. Please download the visa and invitation letter together with the ID card of the inviting host (C.I.) and our Chamber of Commerce Registration Paper (VISURA ACT). Both enclosures are mandatory for the visa application.
