In-person tickets
If you have purchased an in-person registration, you can cancel this up to and on 31 March 2026 (23:59 CET). Cancellation requests received before this date will be subject to an administrative charge of €50. All refunds will be made after the Congress has taken place.
Please send your request for cancellation of registration or refund in writing to ece2026-congress@interplan.de.
Cancellations or refund requests made after 1 April 2026 (for any reason) will not be accepted as we will have booked all suppliers based on the registrations received at that date. However, so that you still have an opportunity to access all of the content and view the selected streamed sessions online, your registration will be transferred to an ECE@HOME ticket.
ECE@HOME
Once your booking is confirmed for an ECE@HOME ticket and payment has been made, registration for the ECE 2026 Congress cannot be cancelled or refunded as all content will be available for you to access during and for 60 days after the Congress closes.
All data collected through badge scanning is processed in accordance with GDPR guidelines. We take your privacy seriously and implement stringent measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, or alteration.
We are committed to ensuring a seamless and secure experience for all attendees. If you have any questions or need further clarification on our badge scanning processes, please visit the ECE Congress event team at the organiser's office or email ece2026-congress@interplan.de
If you cause damage to third parties and property you will be held liable. Please consider taking out valid, comprehensive third-party liability insurance.
The ECE 2026 Congress is working with all venues being used for the 2026 Congress in Prague, Czech Republic, to ensure that they are working to the highest standards of hygiene compliance based on the local Czech regulations and that all necessary sanitation and hygiene precautions are made.
Delegates/group leaders are responsible for arranging appropriate travel insurance for their Group. This includes the provision and completion of all necessary documentation for travel which must be in place at the time of travel to and from Prague, Czech Republic.
Delegates are personally responsible for all mandatory travel requirements for travel to and from the Czech Republic and for the duration of the ECE 2026 Congress. We recommend obtaining travel insurance for your trip and reviewing all accommodation and travel Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) before booking. ECE will not cover or be responsible or liable for any costs that may be incurred by any attendees to ECE for travel related costs or insurance costs.
Please note: ECE will not cover or be responsible for any losses or costs associated with accommodation or travel to the ECE 2026 Congress. Accommodation and travel costs are the sole responsibility of delegates, ECE is unable to refund pre-booked accommodation and travel costs and this will be at the discretion of individual hotels and providers.
At the ECE 2026 Congress ensuring the privacy and security of your personal data is paramount. In line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we want to inform you about the badge scanning processes we have in place during the event. There are two primary purposes for self-scanning or badge scanning:
CME Certification Collection
To facilitate the issuance of Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits and certificates, you will need scan in at the entrance of certified sessions. This process is essential for tracking attendance and ensuring you receive credit for participating in educational activities. Your data will be used solely for the purpose of verifying attendance and issuing certificates. Please note that CME points are not offered at industry sponsored sessions.
Commercial Exhibition/Industry Sponsored Session Attendance
Exhibitors within the commercial exhibition hall and sponsors of satellite symposia, Mini-satellites and ECE Hun sessions may request to scan your badge. In this case, by agreeing to have your badge scanned, you are agreeing to share your name, email address and country information directly with the sponsor/exhibitor. This information can be used by the sponsor/exhibitor to send further details or follow-up information after the Congress. Please note that scanning by company representatives or agencies is optional and subject to your consent.
Your Consent
For CME Certification Collection, scanning is mandatory to receive certification. By attending these sessions, you agree to scan in to the relevant session for this purpose.
For industry sessions and commercial exhibition, badge scanning is entirely voluntary. You will be asked for your consent before your badge is scanned, ensuring you have control over the sharing of your contact information.
In the unlikely event that we have to move from hybrid to fully virtual for the ECE 2026 Congress we will exchange in-person tickets for an ECE@HOME ticket, giving you access to live streamed sessions and session recordings for six months. Please check your travel and accommodation terms and conditions, along with your travel insurance policy, in the unlikely event that ECE has to cancel the Congress entirely or your participation in Czech Republic.
Please be aware that there will be official onsite photography and/or audio/video recordings during this event as commissioned by ECE 2026 Congress and/or Interplan. Any images/audio/video captured may be used by ECE 2026 Congress, ESE and/or Interplan for promotional purposes, including but not limited to, websites, external mailshots, other marketing materials, and social media.
