We hope to deliver the conference exactly as intended (with the only exception being the date), therefore, all accepted papers will still be included in the programme
I booked my ticket already. What happens if the conference is postponed?

If you booked your ticket already, it will be automatically transferred to the new date. Your registration will be deemed complete and you will not need to pay anything further.
I wanted to transfer my ticket to a future date but I am not able to attend at the newly scheduled dates.

If you find that you cannot attend the newly scheduled event, you can claim a refund of the conference fees paid. Unfortunately we are not able to refund the small administration fee.
I booked my ticket already. Can I get a refund?

Yes. If the conference is postponed because of Covid-19, and you do not wish to transfer your registration to the new date, you can request a refund of the conference fee. Unfortunatelly we are not able to refund the small administration fee. You will also need to register again with the conference fee that is set for the 2021 conference. For all of the above we would recommend doing this only if absolutely necessary.
