The official language of the ECNP Congress is English. No translation and/or subtitles will be provided during the sessions.

Every taxi company can bring you to the RAI. However, to guarantee the quality of the taxi service and for logistical reasons, the RAI only allows TCA taxis on the premises to pick up visitors. Ubers are not allowed on the premises.  

Each in-person registered participant will receive a name badge upon arrival. For organisational and security reasons, we request that all participants and industry partners wear their badges at all times during the congress activities.

Individual participants and group participants with individual badge pick-up will receive a barcode closer to the congress that will allow them to scan this code and print the name badges at the onsite kiosk upon arrival to the congress venue. A QR code is also available in the ECNP app to print the badge.

For group participants with group badge pick-up, the group coordinator is responsible to collect all the badges and distribute it to their participants.

Re-print of a badge due to loss or misspelled names can be done at the registration desk at a cost of EUR 97 per badge (VAT excluded).

Children under the age of 18 are not permitted in the session rooms, poster area or in the exhibition area at the venue.

An unsupervised baby care lounge is available to feed and/or change babies or young children. The Baby Care Lounge is accessible via RAI Entrance D at level -1. The lounge is equipped with comfortable chairs, a baby changing bench, a playpen, a refrigerator and a sink with hot and cold water. Access to the Baby Care Lounge is controlled by a key system and the room can be locked from the inside by means of a cylinder lock. The key is available at the reception of Entrance D (ground floor) and must be returned after use.

Audio and video recording and taking pictures with flash is prohibited during the congress sessions. The only photography which is allowed during sessions is photography of slides, which is permitted only for reference purposes (reproduction is strictly forbidden). Photography of posters is allowed under similar terms. No (professional) filming crews or photographers are allowed under any circumstances in the session rooms or poster area, except those hired by the 38^th ECNP Congress Foundation.

In the past, participants of the ECNP Congress have expressed concerns about being photographed or filmed. Because of this, persons in possession of press badge are restricted to film and photograph inside the venue at a designated location. Please note that this is discretionary of the 38^th ECNP Congress foundation, and if we receive requests from participants, or if filming/photography/recording is regarded as intrusive, then we may have to withdraw permission. Filming in the exhibition area is only allowed in the stand of the company that has ordered the filming or photography. It is not allowed to film or take photographs in the general or catering areas of the exhibition.
