BADGES

An admission badge will be delivered to each participant, giving access to the conference sessions, to the audiovisual presentation room and to the exhibition. It must be worn throughout the conference period at all times.

CAR PARKING

There is a very large car-park on the Place d’Armes, located opposite the Château de Versailles and the Congress Center.

INSURANCE

The organisers cannot be held liable for any personal accident or for damage to, or the loss of any personal property, howsoever caused. Participants should therefore make their own insurance arrangements.

USEFUL TIPS

In the month of June, the temperature in Versailles is usually around 17 °C (63 °F) with a probability of showers. In France, the electric current is 220 V/50 Hz. It is advised to consider the use of an electric adaptor.
