TERMS & CONDITIONS

These are the terms and conditions (the “Agreement”) governing your participation in any KUONI TUMLARE CONGRESS owned and operated event, meeting, show, seminar or conference which offer a "live" in-person event with a "virtual" online component (the Event). By registering for the Event you agree to these terms, which form a binding legal contract between the Event owner and host, KUONI TUMLARE CONGRESS (“KUONI CONGRESS” or “Owner and Organizer”) and the registered participant (“you” or “Participant”). If you are registering on behalf of another individual, it is your responsibility to ensure the person participating is aware of these terms and accepts them. By completing the registration on behalf of another individual you are warranting that you have made the Participant aware of these terms and that they have accepted these terms.

1 PARTICIPANT REQUIREMENTS 

1.1 Access. Your registration entitles you to access to the Event for which you have registered. Any and all other costs associated with your attendance shall be borne solely by you, and the Event shall have no liability for such costs.

1.1.1 Badges. Each in-person registered participant will receive a name badge upon arrival. For organizational and security reasons, we request that all participants and industry partners wear their badges at all times during the congress activities. Re-print due to loss of badges or due to misspelled names can be done at the registration desk at a cost of EUR 25 per badge (inclusive 21% Czech VAT).

1.1.2 Invitation letter for visa applications in-person participants. In-person participants may need a letter of invitation from the congress organizers in order to obtain a visa for entry into Czech Repulic. It is the sole responsibility of the participant to take care of any visa requirements.
Participants who require an entry visa must foresee sufficient time for the visa application procedure. Participants should contact the nearest local Embassy or Consulate of Czech Repulic to determine the appropriate timing and conditions of the visa application.

This procedure is intended to assist in-person participants who need to obtain a visa or permission to attend the EMDR Europe Research & Practice Conference 2025 in Dublin. It is not an official invitation covering fees and/or any other expenses or financial support from the congress.

Invitation letters will be sent separately after full payment of the registration has been received.
