Registration/Accommodation

Registration for a congress like ICN typically follows a tiered structure — pricing usually depends on how early you register, whether you’re a full delegate, student, industry professional, or a member of a partner society, and in some cases where you’re traveling from, with reduced rates often available for delegates from lower and middle-income countries.

A standard registration fee usually covers access to the scientific sessions, the trade exhibition, and basic hospitality like coffee breaks and a welcome reception, though it doesn’t always include every meal or the full social program — worth checking exactly what’s bundled before budgeting for the trip.

Accommodation for a congress this size is usually coordinated through partner hotels near the venue, with a range of price points to fit different budgets. Booking through the congress’s own accommodation portal often comes with negotiated rates that beat booking directly, along with the convenience of being grouped with other attendees.

Cancellation policies for both registration and hotel bookings tend to get stricter closer to the event, so it’s worth reading the fine print early rather than assuming a full refund is always available.
