Badge
This is your two-day pass to the venue and the reception. Keep it with you throughout the conference. The badge colour indicates your role: participant, speaker, partner, organiser, programme committee member, or technical staff.
The name, company, and city of the person you are speaking with are always visible — use this as an opportunity to start a conversation.
Important: do not hand your badge to unauthorised persons. None of the organisers will ever ask you to surrender your badge. If anyone makes such a request, they are fraudsters. After the conference, you may dispose of the badge or keep it as a souvenir.
