Changes to the Program

​​

In constructing the HLM2020 conference, certain arrangements have been entered into with suppliers in advance of the publication of this brochure or webpage. Whilst every effort will be made to deliver the itinerary for the conference and its social events as it appears in these publications, in the unlikely event that the organizer considers through whatever reason including force majeure to change the destination, hotel and or program the organizer strictly reserve the right to change, amend or cancel any specific event without notice. In this case, every effort will be made to provide a substitute destination or event although the organizer is NOT liable for any such curtailment, cancellation or substitution as it may affect you directly. You are advised to check the notice board and or the conference website at the Hospitality Desk daily for any lastminute changes to the program.

 

Passports and Visas
You are responsible for checking your passport and visa requirements to attend the HLM2020 conference. Should a problem occur on entry to ‘Belgium” or on an application for a visa to visit, the organizer will be unable to provide assistance.

 

Delegate Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend the need for good travel insurance. In general, this form of insurance provides cover for sickness and illness, cancellation, loss of property etc. and is NOT provided as part of your Registration Fee.

 

Special Needs
It is incumbent upon you to notify us at the time of registration of any disability, dietary requirements or general condition that requires separate or special attention.

 

Hotel Awards Points

​

The very nature of booking hotel accommodation for conferences requires the lowest possible rates to be negotiated with the hotel. This is at the cost of any award points or similar scheme that the hotel may offer normal Clients. Therefore there are no schemes available to individuals.

​

Dress Code
There is no formal dress code for the event but we would recommend Business Casual for the seminars and dinners.

 

Badges / Other Identification
You are required to wear your badge (clearly visible) during ALL events – including social events – to enable us to identify you as a bona fide attendee. This will avoid any unnecessary embarrassment on entry to business and social events. Other Identification methods, such as hands bracelets might be provided during certain parts of the conference. You are required to wear those in order to have access to the specific venue / services.

 

Sports / Entertainment activities
The Conference includes entertainment sections with sport / competition / welness activities. It is your responsibility to consult a physician well in advance (both at the time of registration and your departure to the event) if such are appropriate for your physical condition. It is your responsibility to choose an adequate activity to your physical condition.

 

Provision of Alcohol
Alcohol is provided at many of the social events on the basis that attendees will consume it sensibly. The organizer is not responsible for any adverse effect, injury, or damage to or by an attendee howsoever caused through the consumption of alcohol.

 

Security warnings
At the time of registration at the hotel and/or during the event the organizers might provide you with reasonable instructions, regarding your security. You agree to carefully get acquainted and follow those instructions. You agree that if you fail to comply on the instance the organizers are not responsible for any adverse effect, injury, damage or losses.

 

Applicable Law
In the event of a dispute arising between participant/sponsor and the organizers which are unable to be resolved amicably between either or all parties concerned, these conditions shall be governed by Belgian Law and the parties to these conditions submit to the jurisdiction of the Belgian Courts.
