What Your Fee Covers

- Invitation to the Welcome Evening on Wednesday, 30 May 2012
- One Divisional Luncheon (to be selected on the registration form)
- Access to the exhibition and hospitality areas
- The accompanying spouse’s complimentary registration*
* When mentioned on the registration form, the spouse (under the condition that he/she is not involved in business) receives a complimentary badge and free access to the exhibition, the Hospitality area and to the Welcome Evening.
Conditions of Attendance
The Convention is open to fully registered delegates representing BIR member companies and to elected officers from national federations (i.e. President and/or Executive Director) which have paid their annual membership dues to BIR. Membership within a national federation affiliated to BIR does not automatically entitle a company to register delegates to the Convention.
“Observer” status can be granted once to representatives from non-member companies. They must first submit their request along with a supporting letter from a BIR member to the BIR Brussels secretariat for approval. After the convention, an observer must make sure that his/her company joins the organisation if he/she wants to attend any future BIR conventions.
|
BEWARE OF BADGE FRAUD: lending a convention badge to someone who is not registered is considered fraud and will result in the delegate’s immediate exclusion from the convention, the suspension of company membership privileges and possible expulsion from the organisation following a disciplinary process. Random checks will be carried out throughout the convention area. |

Convention
- In the case of strikes, flood, fire, “force majeure” or any other circumstances beyond the control of BIR resulting in the partial or complete cancellation of the convention (and of any part of its programme), BIR cannot be held liable. As a result, no refund of the registration fees or of the hotel pre-payment/deposit will be made to BIR registered delegates and guests.
